|
Muhammad Sharif Pasha is one of the Prime Ministers in Egypt. Apart from the identity as a Prime Minister, he is also famous as a great Egyptian statesman. He served his country as a Prime Minister for three terms. The first term was from 7th April in the year of 1879 till 18th August in the year of 1879. The second term was from 14th September in 1881 to 4th February in 1882. The third term of his service as a prime Minister continued from 21st August in the year of 1882 till 7th January in the year of 1884.
Muhammad Sharif Pasha is better renowned as a Circassian who managed to fill up a huge number of posts under Ismail Pasha and Said Pasha. There is also other interesting as well as amazing fact about Muhammad Sharif Pasha. He was better educated than almost all of his contemporary Prime Ministers of Egypt or politicians. One more interesting thing about him is that he got married to the daughter of Colonel Seves who was the non- commissioned officer of France and came to be Suleiman Pasha under Mehemet Ali.
While serving under Ismail Pasha, Muhammad Sharif Pasha proved to be quite efficient as the minister of foreign affairs. Ismail used the bluff bonhomie of Sharif Pasha in order to shroud most of the insidious proposals that he made. Sharif Pasha with all his fatal optimism is held responsible for the fall of Egyptian credit that played a very important role in the fall of Ismail.

Muhammad Sharif Pasha had been summoned upon the military insurrection under Urabi Pasha in the month of September in 1881 by the khedive Tawfiq in order to form a new ministry. It is in the month of February in the very next year that he had to resign from his post. The reason behind his resignation was his failure to reconcile the requirements about the financial affairs of the national party with the demands of the French as well as the British controllers of the public debt.
Muhammad Sharif Pasha was installed again in the office in the month of August in 1882 following the suppression of the Urabi Revolt. But in January in the year of 1884, he resigned. It was in 20th April in the year of 1887 that Muhammad Sharif Pasha died in Graz in Australia.
