Süleyman Şefik Pasha

Süleyman Şefik Pasha (Ottoman Turkish: سلیمان شفیق پاشا) was the commander of the Kuvâ-yi İnzibâtiye, an army established on 18 April 1920 by the Imperial Government of the Ottoman Empire in order to fight against the Turkish National Movement in the aftermath of World War I.

He was born in 1860 in Erzurum to Ali Kemal Pasha, who served as governor of Rumelia (the Balkans), Tripolitania (Libya), Mosul, and Konya.

His family was long known as the Söylemezoğulları (descendants of a man nicknamed Söylemez, "won't tell").

However, he only held the post for 12 days, after which he resigned due to difficulties from working with Anzavur Ahmed Pasha, a local military commander.
