Makram Ebeid

Makram Ebeid Pasha (Arabic: مكرم عبيد باشا; 25 October 1889 – 5 June 1961) was an Egyptian politician.

He was involved in the 1919 revolution with his friend Saad Zaghloul and was one of the people who were exiled as a punishment, but he eventually returned to Egypt with some of the noblemen of that time.

His father was involved in construction work of the railway from Nag Hammadi to Luxor, the completion of which led to being granted the title of bey from the khedive.

[2] Ebeid returned to Egypt in the midst of nationalistic unrest, and began to involve himself in the Wafd party's struggle for independence led by Saad Zaghloul.

[5] Following the death of Saad Zaghloul, the Wafd party began to see a rise in corruption, and a change of guard under new leader Mostafa El-Nahas.
