In the post-colonial world, founding fathers are generally connected with the anti-colonial struggle, people such as Leopold Senghor in Senegal, Sa'ad Zaghlul i Egypt, or Ahmed Ben Bello in Morocco. The Sudan is very atypical in this respect. At present, Sudanese people seem to have forgotten the event, the "1924 revolution" that for the first time in Sudan's history brought forward the ida of the country being a nation-state.
