Mohamed Nagi Alassam (Arabic: محمد ناجي الأصم) is a Sudanese pro-democracy activist and physician who helped in organising the longest physicians' strike in history during the Sudanese revolution, which lasted until Omar Al-Bashir's government was overthrown.[2][3][4] Alassam also took on the role of spokesperson and executive committee member for the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA), which was crucial in organising and rallying the Sudanese people for a nonviolent revolution. He was the first SPA member to come out publicly,[5] and he was arrested on January 4, 2019, days after start of the revolution.[6]

After being held for 98 days by the General Intelligence Service (Sudan), he was freed after the overthrown of Omar al-Bashir.[7][8] Following his release, he represented the SPA in the civilian-military negotiations that resulted in the interim constitution that established the foundation for a power-sharing arrangement, i.e., Forces of Freedom and Change.[9][10] He has been a vocal critic of the Oct. 25 military takeover.[11]
