AHC/WI: Biggest Egypt

The challenge is to make a much larger Egypt than OTL. How big don't you think Egypt will be upon granting independence?

Will it be plausible if Egypt has Libya and Northern Sudan?
 
IIRC they had to dissolve the Anglo-Egyptian condominium to obtain independence for both Egypt and Sudan. The latter was poorer and Egypt didn't want to take it on. Why would they split off South Sudan? Perhaps an agreement with the British to smoothen things and have it perhaps attached to Uganda? But after the revolution, things weren't great with them.

Libya looks ASB though.
 
Well it is hard to beat the size of Egypt under Muhammad Ali but his egypt was in the early 1800s. You could have Egypt with Sudan since the Muhammad Ali Dynasty did claim to be rulers of both Egypt and the Sudan. the bigger question is how to get the british to give up both to Egypt?
