Al-Bushi and his role in political life

The arrival of the founder of this family, Ahmed Al-Bushi, from Egypt coincided with the arrival of the Turco-Egyptian conquest campaign and the previous Turkish government that came to Sudan in 1921 AD. Ahmed Al-Bushi came to this land to work as an agricultural expert, and the Egyptian administration at that time wanted to invest the vast agricultural areas in Sudan with modern agricultural methods, irrigation systems, and advanced irrigation systems. Ahmed Al-Bushi is Ahmed bin Khalil bin Mustafa bin Suleiman bin Muhammad bin Abul-Naja bin Ahmed bin Issa bin Ibrahim bin Al-Alwani Al-Idrisi Al-Husseini Al-Husseini, and Ibrahim Al-Alwani's lineage descends from Sayyid Idris Al-Asghar, Idris Al-Akbar bin Abdullah Al-Mahd, and from the Idris family descends the ruling Idrisid family in the Maghreb Al-Aqsa, and from the same family descends Sayyid Ahmed bin Idris, the owner of the well-known Idrisid school.

The migration of the Al-Bushi family to Sudan took place in two stages. The first stage was from Tunisia to Egypt, the time of which is unknown. The reason for the migration of this family or one of its members to Egypt is also unclear. The second migration of one of the members of this family and its first founder is as mentioned above. Moroccans or groups of Moroccans came to Sudan at different times, and some of them, or perhaps some of them, settled in the regions of central Sudan, especially. We find them today in the eastern countryside of Khartoum Bahri in the areas of Dar Al-Salam Al-Maghariba, Marabi' Al-Sharif Al-Hindi, and Al-Jaraif East near Umm Daban. They also settled in the Gezira in their villages extending across Al-Jaid, Wad Al-Khabir, Al-Hilaliya, Abu Haraz, and other areas. The Al-Bushi family is closely related to the Bisioun family, some of whose members are in Al-Hilaliya and Wad Madani. The Moroccans inhabited and developed the city of Wad Madani.

After Ahmed Al-Bushi settled in Sudan, he married Fatima, daughter of Dafa Allah Wad Ahmed bin Tamam, Sheikh of Al-Asailat in Al-Sidera Al-Gharbiya, near Khartoum. Sheikh Dafa Allah is from the Rifa'a tribes. The Al-Bushi family is a large branch in the Al-Sidera Al-Gharbiya region, the Khawla of the Al-Bushi family in Madani. At this time, Ahmed Al-Bushi had his first son, Muhammad Abul-Naja, father of Sheikh Ali Al-Bushi and grandfather of Mudathir Al-Bushi. Sheikh Ali Al-Bushi and grandfather Mudathir Al-Bushi had his first son, Abul-Naja. Sheikh Ali Al-Bushi and grandfather Mudathir Al-Bushi had his first son, Abul-Naja. Sheikh Ali Al-Bushi and grandfather Mudathir Al-Bushi, from Fatima bint Dafa Allah. After that, Ahmed Al-Bushi and his family moved and settled in the village of Abu Haraz on the banks of the Nile.
