03The Alexandria massacre (June 1882)

  • It broke out after a quarrel between a Maltese subject of Britain and an Egyptian carter over the fare: the Maltese stabbed the Egyptian mortally.
  • The matter turned into mutual fighting between foreigners and Egyptians generally.
  • The incident appears to have been staged, because the Maltese took an unusually long ride in the cart and deliberately paid a fare out of proportion to the distance.
  • Affairs fell into confusion and order broke down, and a new ministry was formed under Raghib Pasha (20 June 1882).
