Sirr Al-Khatim Al-Khalifa Al-Hassan (Arabic: سر الختم الخليفة الحسن, romanized: Sirr al-Khatim al-Khalīfa al-Ḥasan; 1 January 1919[1] – 18 February 2006) was a Sudanese politician, ambassador and an elite educator, who served as the 4th Prime Minister of Sudan. He was famous for his great legacy in education and founding prints for Ministry of Education in Sudan, and as the executive Prime Minister in the October Regime. Al-Khalifa had a socialist orientation and was therefore sympathetic to the Simba, who had embraced communism.[2]
