Babikr Bedri
Babikr Bedri (Arabic: بابكر بدري; 1 June 1856 – 1954) was a Mahdist warrior who later became a social activist and laid the foundations for women's education in Sudan. (His name is variously transcribed in Latin letters as "Babiker Badri" or similar ways.) Bedri began with a small school for his own daughters. Over time, the school moved to Omdurman and formed the basis for today's Ahfad University for Women.
