Suad Ibrahim Ahmed (May 30, 1935 – December 29, 2013)[1] was a leader and central committee member of the Sudanese Communist Party.
She was a leader in the struggle against displacement of Nubian people of the Wadi Halfa region caused by erection of the Aswan Dam.
During this time period, construction work was starting on the Aswan Dam on River Nile, which would submerge Wadi Halfa, forcing the local Nubian population to relocate.
While respectful towards the older and more socially conservative Ibrahim, Ahmed disagreed sharply about the role of women, religion and morality and party strategies.
While Ibrahim believed that Islam could be used as a progressive force against religious conservatives, Ahmed wanted to ground women's struggle in secular ideas.
