The Republic of Sudan was established as an independent sovereign state on 1 January 1956 upon the termination of the condominium of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan,over which sovereignty had been vested jointly in Egypt and the United Kingdom. Before 1955,however,whilst still subject to the condominium,the autonomous Sudanese government under Ismail al-Azhari had temporarily halted Sudan's progress toward self-determination,hoping to promote unity with Egypt. Despite his pro-Egyptian National Unionist Party (NUP) winning a majority in the 1953 parliamentary elections,Azhari realized that popular opinion had shifted against such a union. Azhari,who had been the major spokesman for the "unity of the Nile Valley",therefore reversed the NUP's stand and supported Sudanese independence. On December 19,1955,the Sudanese parliament,under Azhari's leadership,unanimously adopted a declaration of independence that became effective on January 1,1956. Azhari called for the withdrawal of foreign troops and requested the governments of Egypt and the United Kingdom to sponsor a plebiscite in advance.
