Hussein Refki Pasha Ahmed Hafez Mohammed Hafez (Шаблон:Lang-ar; 1876–1950) was an Egyptian military general and politician who served as Egypt's 25th Minister of War and Marine.

Career

Hussein Refki Pasha served as Egypt's Minister of War and Marine from December 1937 to April 1938, during the early reign of King Farouk of Egypt.[1] Refki later became a senator in the Egyptian Senate (Шаблон:Lang-ar; Majlis-al-Shuyukh), the upper-house of the Egyptian Parliament (dissolved in 1956).[2] Prior to his political career, Refki served in the royal court as Chief Aide-de-Camp (Шаблон:Lang-ar; Kebeer-al-Yawaran) to kings Fuad I and Farouk. As Chief Aide-de-Camp, Refki commanded the King's Military Household (predecessor to the Republican Guard of Egypt), which included the royal guard and other elite military formations.[3] A street is named for Refki in the Sarayat El-Quba neighbourhood of Heliopolis, Cairo.[4]

Family

Hussein Refki Pasha was born in Cairo, Egypt, to an aristocratic Turco-Egyptian family of statesmen and military officers.[3] Refki's grandfather, Mehmet Hafiz Pasha, was an Ottoman military commander who served as Serasker of the army, as Wali (governor) of Bosnia, Diyarbekir Eyalet, Sivas Eyalet, Erzurum Eyalet, Konya, Ionnina, Skopje, Erdine, and Mosul, and as Sheikh Al-Haram (civil governor) of Medina. Refki's father, Ahmed Hafez Bey, and Refki's brother, Hassan Hafez Pasha, both served as career officers in the Egyptian Army.[3]

Refki’s family has also produced several eminent Egyptian judges. Refki's only child, Chancellor Hafez Refky, was a member of Egypt's Supreme Judicial Council (Шаблон:Lang-ar; Majlis al-Qada' al-A'la), and Vice-President of Egypt's Court of Cassation (Шаблон:Lang-ar; Mahkamat-al-Naqd), Egypt's highest appellate court. Refki's nephew, Chancellor Fouad Hafez, was President of the Egyptian Court of Appeals in Cairo (Шаблон:Lang-ar; Mahkamat Isti'naf al-Qahirah).

Hussein Refki Pasha is related to the Muhammad Ali dynasty of Egypt through his mother, who is directly descended from the dynasty's founder, Muhammad Ali of Egypt. Since the 1930s Refki and his patrilineal descendants have used the surname "Refky" or "Refki."
