Abdullahi Mohammad Ahmad Hassan

Abdullahi Mohammad Ahmad Hassan (Arabic: عبد الله محمد أحمد حسن; January 1928 – 22 June 2022) was a Sudanese politician who was a member of parliament, government minister and diplomat.

In 1947 he joined the newly established Hantoub Secondary School (مدرسة حنتوب الثانوية‎) and later went on to study at and graduate in May 1955 from the Faculty of Arts at the University College of Khartoum.

In August 1955 he was re-posted to as a history teacher at Khour Taqatt Secondary School (مدرسة خور طقت الثانوية‎) just weeks before the first uprising of the Anyanya Movement in the South.

In August 1958 he resigned his post as a teacher and moved to Khartoum where he started his business in commercial advertisements and feasibility studies.

An opportunity arose in 1959 when he was approached by a local committee from Al-Ubayyid requesting him to establish and run an intermediate level school.

He moved to Al-Ubayyid and establish Kurdufan Ahliya Intermediate School (مدرسة كردفان الاهلية الوسطى‎) and ran it as its headmaster.

Before the establishment of the Islamic Liberation Movement, the Communist Party had a strong hold on the student union at the university and among the secondary schools in Sudan.

Abdullahi again joined the opposition under the leadership of Sadiq al-Mahdi and was exiled to Saudi Arabia but later on moved to the United Kingdom.

Upon his return to Sudan he was appointed in the newly established office that overlooked the affairs of the Ansar (Arabic: هيئة شئون الانصار).

The unstable coalition government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi was ousted by Omar Al-Bashir in a bloodless military coup on 30 June 1989.
