Abdel Rahman Sule

Abdel Rahman Sule is a South Sudanese politician who was one of the founders of the Liberal Party, officially registered as the "Southern Party" in 1953, the main party in Southern Sudan in the years immediately before and after independence in 1956.

Abdel Rahman Sule belonged to the Bari people. He has been described as a farmer and as a trader.

Sule was at the forefront of pro-federalist politics in the 1940s and 1950s. Sule, Stanislaus Paysama and Buth Diu founded the Southern Sudanese Political Movement in 1951, with the goals of achieving full independence for Sudan, with special treatment for southern Sudan. The southerners were excluded from the Political Parties agreement with the British colonial authorities, but in 1953 registered the Southern Party, later renamed the Liberal Party. The party was supported by almost all southern intellectuals and by the majority of southern people. Although also open to northerners, none joined. Sule's Juba branch of the Southern Party was particularly active in recruiting future southern politicians.
