Sudanese Communist Party – Revolutionary Leadership
political party in Sudan
The Sudanese Communist Party – Revolutionary Leadership (Arabic: الحزب الشيوعي السوداني – القيادة الثورية) was a communist party in Sudan. It emerged as a pro-Chinese split, after internal division inside the Sudanese Communist Party in August 1964.
The split in the Sudanese Communist Party was provoked by the Sino-Soviet split. 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. 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. The Revolutionary Leadership was led by Yusuf Abd' al-Majid. On 12 November 1965 the Sudanese Communist Party denounced the Revolutionary Leadership as an "agent organization", citing Chinese interference.
The Revolutionary Leadership sent a delegation to the 1966 5th Party Congress of the Party of Labour of Albania.
The party failed to gain a mass following.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Sudanese Communist Party – Revolutionary Leadership” as political party in Sudan. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as political party in Sudan. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7633366. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1964, 1963, 1965 and 1966.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
