Mustafa Al Nahhas Pasha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mustafa Al Nahhas Pasha (1879 - 1965) (Arabic: مصطفى النحاس باشا) was an Egyptian political figure. He served as Prime Minister of Egypt in 1928, 1930, between 1936 and 1937, from 1942 until 1944, and finally between 1950 and 1952. He helped found the Wafd Party and served as its leader from 1927 to 1952, when the party was dissolved. He also helped found the Arab League. He was prime minister for only a few months in 1928 after clashing with the king over his desire to strictly limit royal power. When the Great Revolt of 1936-1939 started An-Nahhas founded the Arab Higher Committee to try and restore peace to the region. He was responsible for the 1936 Anglo-Egyptian Treaty, but later denounced it. This led to anti-British riots, which led to his dismissal as Prime Minister in January, 1952. After the military coup of July, 1952 both he and his wife were imprisoned from 1953 to 1954. He then retired to private life.
