Mustafa Mahmud al-Umari

Mustafa Mahmood Al-Umari (also Mustafa Mahmood Al-Omari) (Arabic: مصطفى محمود العمري;‎ 1894 – 1962[1]) from Mosul, Iraq (Sunni-Arab) who became an Iraqi statesman.

He was appointed by King Faisal II's cousin and regent 'Abd al-Ilāh after nationwide protests against the government.

In 1952, his failure to maintain control during the Intifada cost him his position.

Being an independent, he was not associated with many of the royalists or partisans who were jailed or executed in the aftermath of the revolution.

He was later buried in the Al-Omari waqf cemetery in Mosul, Iraq.
