He was one of the most prominent leaders in Sudan's political life. He received his primary and secondary education in a number of Sudanese towns, as he kept moving from one area to another along with his paternal uncle. He was involved in all types of demonstrations and in all types of protests against the colonization and the colonial rule in 1946, the time, which was fomenting with political turmoil and developments, led by the Graduate Congress.
His political stands became clear since his tiny years while participating in the literary society of the secondary school. He was participating in the theoretical activities such as the works of the famous Sudanese drama writer Khalid Abul Roos, international playwright Shakespeare and middleastern writer George Zaidan.
He completed his university studies in Prague Czechoslovakia and graduated at the economic collages. He was dismissed from the Faculty of Arts the University of Khartoum.
He returned to Sudan where he was involved in clandestine activities with the Sudanese community party.
