"In 1876, Egyptian military officers approached the chief of
Hunda and offered him a protectorate. He accepted, but the protectorate had little
value. 35 In 1877, however, the British government made a secret treaty with Egypt
that assigned to the khedive several territories nominally belonging to the sultan
of Zanzibar, including all of the Horn. 'Ismaan ignored the agreement. But, in May
1878, assured of British acquiescence, Khedive Isma'iil dispatched an armed
expedition to survey the Majeerteen coast. He hoped to occupy the sultanate and
transform it into "military colonies."
