Ager Gum (1941–1996) was a military leader and song composer from Sudan.
[1][2] She was known to be an active member of the infamous female SPLA battalion "Katifa banat" that fought during the Sudanese Civil war against the Khartoum government.
She was born in Nyang in present-day South Sudan to a mother from the Yibel tribe.
After three failed marriages by the age of twenty-seven, Ager Gum left her Dinka community to start a new life in the urban town of Rumbek, the capital of Lakes State, central South Sudan, and the former capital of the country.
The themes of her compositions were mainly directed toward men, who she said "want sex rather than real relationships".
