The Sekban-i Djedid Army was a brief and unsuccessful attempt (29 August – 18 October 1808) by Bayraktar Mustafa Pasha to revive the Nizam-i Djedid Army, based on European models. The attempt failed as the Janissaries revolted and killed Alemdar Mustafa Pasha. The Sekban-i Djedid was abolished and all the privileges of the traditional Kapıkulu corps, to which the Janissaries belonged, were renewed.
