Jemal Pasha - Egypt - A group of men standing next to each other

Original photograph by German photographer of Jemal Pasha, then the public works minister in the Ottoman Empire, at the celebrations of the completion of al-Hindya dam on the Euphrates near al-Hilla, south of Baghdad. Jemal Pahsa is seen in his white jacket and his riding outfit, surrounded by Anazzah tribal leaders of the regions of south of Baghdad. The sophisticated western attire of Jemal Pasha sharply contrasted with the traditional costumes of the fierce-looking traditional local tribal leaders. Jemal Pasha was then to server as minister of the Navy, the governor of Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine, and led the military campaigns along the Suez Canal against the British and their allies. He was known to the Arabs by Jemal al-Saffah, Jemal the Butcher, for the number of nationalist Arab leaders executed by him (hanging) in both Beirut and Damascus. The two martyrs’ squares of Beirut and Damascus were named after his victims. After WWI, he briefly fought the British in Afghanistan. He was later gunned down by the Armenians in retaliation for the Armenian massacre perpetuated by the triumvirate of the young turks consisting of Jemal Pasha, Enver Pasha and Talaat Pasha. العربية: صورة أصلية للمصور الألماني يظهر فيها أحمد جمال باشا والي بغداد في الإمبراطورية العثمانية، في احتفالات اقامة مشروع سدة الهندية في نهر الفرات بالقرب من الحلة، جنوب بغداد. ويظهر جمال باشا في سترتهِ البيضاء وملابسه محاطا بزعماء قبائل عنزة البدوية. يتناقض شكل الملابس الغربية المتطورة لجمال باشا مع الأزياء التقليدية للزعماء القبليين في المظهر.
