Hussein Roshdy Pasha
Hussein, Pasha Roshdy was an Egyptian political figure of Turkish origin
who served as Prime Minister of Egypt between 1914 and 1919. Under pressure from British authorities, Roshdy issued a “Decision of the Council of Ministers” which essentially declared war against the Central Powers in the First World War. He was later forced to resign for failing to resolve a strike by government officials demanding mandatory recognition of the Egyptian delegation by the cabinet and the withdrawal of British sentries and guards.
He was married to Eugénie Le Brun.
