Suleyman I struggled with some revolts in the first years of his
reign. At first, Canbirdi Ghazeli, the governor of Damascus (Egypt) had revolted. His aim was to
re-establish the state of Mameluke. He was defeated by the Ottoman Forces led by
Sehsuvaroglu Ali Bey in January 1521, and executed. Afterwards , Ahmed Pasha had revolted
by saying he should have been the governor of Egypt. Another rebel was Kalender Celebi
who took the support of Safevis of Anatolia. The last revolt was in 1527 by Baba Zunun,
Suleyman had successfully repressed off all these revolts.
