Political party in Sudan
The
Sudanese Communist Party ? Revolutionary Leadership
(
Arabic
:
????? ??????? ???????? ? ??????? ???????
) was a
communist party
in
Sudan
. It emerged as a pro-
Chinese
split, after internal division inside the
Sudanese Communist Party
in August 1964.

[3]
The split in the Sudanese Communist Party was provoked by the
Sino-Soviet split
.

[5]
Whilst the Sudanese Communist Party leadership supported participating in Central Council election under the regime of
Ibrahim Abboud
in 1963, the faction that created the Revolutionary Leadership rejected electoral politics and called for armed struggle.
[6]
Some of the founders of the new party had been expelled from the Sudanese Communist Party after accusing the party general secretary for misappropriation of funds provided by the
Soviet
embassy. Others had left voluntarily.
[4]
The Revolutionary Leadership was led by Yusuf Abd' al-Majid.
[6]
On 12 November 1965 the Sudanese Communist Party denounced the Revolutionary Leadership as an "agent organization", citing Chinese interference.
[2]
The Revolutionary Leadership sent a delegation to the 1966 5th Party Congress of the
Party of Labour of Albania
.
[7]
The party failed to gain a mass following.
[5]
[6]
By 1966 it had split into three factions, "A", "B" and "C".
[6]
The party called for boycott of the
1968 elections
.
[8]
After the
25 May 1969 coup
, state repression virtually paralysed the workings of all the remnants of the party.
[6]
Commenting on the post-coup repression the Chinese news agency
Hsinhua
stated that "[j]ust as the Soviet Social-Imperialists abandoned the heroic Greek freedom fighters to the Hitlerite dictatorial rule of the royalist-fascist runnings dogs of U.S. imperialism, so they have now delivered the militant elements of the Revolutionary Leaders factions of the Sudan Communist Party into the hands of the depraved
Nimeiry
".
[9]
The Revolutionary Leadership sent a delegation to the 1971
6th Congress of the Party of Labour of Albania
.
[10]
In the mid-1980s, the party joined the Progressive Democratic Front.
[11]
As of 1999 Ahmed Mohamed Shamy was a leader of the party.
