Wikipedia description:

Babikr Bedri (Arabic: بابكر بدري; 1 June 1856 – 1954; also spelled Babiker Badri) was a Mahdist Sudanese warrior and social activist who laid the foundations for women's education in Sudan. 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 in Sudan. He was also the last surviving Mahdist veteran of the Mahdist War.
