Malik Agar (Arabic: مالك عقار, romanized: Mālik ʻAqqār; born Nganyofa Agar Eyre Nganyofa[4][5]) is a Sudanese politician and former insurgent leader who was active in the insurgency in Blue Nile state.
[7] In the 1990s, he was the commander of a section of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) military forces along the Ethiopia–Sudan border south of the Blue Nile to Geissan.
After Garang's death, Agar, along with others who shared a desire for a revolution in Sudan, were marginalised by the new SPLM leadership.
[9][10] Agar was one of the few high-profile members of the Sudanese opposition to run in the election, and was the only non-National Congress Party (NCP) candidate to win a governorship.
[14] Agar rejects former President Omar al-Bashir's Arab-Islamic nationalism, and has argued instead for a secular and multicultural civil democracy.
