- Description
- Please note: this article is in Greek. Cyprus 1882:
a “safe haven” for refugees after the Arabi revolt in Egypt: Four
years after the British takeover of Cyprus, a crisis in Egypt
tested the island. This article aims to present the use of Cyprus
by the British during the 1882 Arabi revolt and “Egyptian
campaign”, as a place of refuge for European and Ottoman refugees
from Egypt. This role Cyprus played has been so far neglected in
the relevant literature; here it will be shown how the island was
used to accommodate refugees. Using material from the British and
Cypriot archives and from the Greek and British newspapers of the
island (the latter providing information that was not found in any
other account) the paper highlights how the British and Cyprus
funds were used for the relief of the refugees and the way the
people of the island reacted when faced with such a humanitarian
crisis.
