1936 CE to 1947 CE

Sudan's condominium government makes a number of significant changes in the immediate postwar years.

In 1942 the Graduates' General Conference, a quasi-nationalist movement formed by educated Sudanese, had presented the government with a memorandum that demanded a pledge of self-determination after the war to be preceded by abolition of the "closed door" ordinances, an end to the separate curriculum in southern schools, and an increase in the number of Sudanese in the civil service.

The governor general had refused to accept the memorandum but had agreed to a government-supervised transformation of indirect rule into a modernized system of local government.

Sir Douglas Newbold, governor of Kurdufan Province in the 1930s and later the executive council's civil secretary, advises the establishment of parliamentary government and the administrative unification of north and south.
