1954 CE

A new Sudanese government emerges in 1954 under NUP leader Ismail al-Azhari.

During the Second World War, some British colonial officers had questioned the economic and political viability of the southern provinces as separate from northern Sudan.

Britain also had become more sensitive to Arab criticism of the southern policy.

In 1946, the Sudan Administrative Conference had determined that Sudan should be administered as one country.

Moreover, the conference delegates had agreed to readmit northern administrators to southern posts, abolish the trade restrictions imposed under the "closed door" ordinances, and allow southerners to seek employment in the north.

Khartoum had also nullified the prohibition against Muslim proselytizing in the south and had introduced Arabic in the south as the official administration language.
