Makram Omar

After the French Expedition of 1798, Omar Makram was elected head of the syndicate. He has gone down in history as the leader of the second Cairo revolution in 1800. Mohamed Ali exiled him to Damietta, then to Tanta, in 1808, and many historians believe that the syndicate was thereafter led by figures who had obtained official sanction but had no political power whatsoever.
