Kandake of the Sudanese Revolution

Kandake of the Sudanese Revolution (also known as Woman in White and Lady Liberty of the Sudanese Revolution; Arabic: كنداكة الثورة السودانية) is a photograph of Alaa Salah, a 22-year-old student, standing on top of a car, dressed in white and gold, and leading a crowd of demonstrators in chant during the Sudanese anti-government protests on 8 April 2019. The photograph, taken by activist Lana Haroun using a smartphone, gained world-wide media attention and went viral in April 2019, and was described by several media organisations as iconic, representing women's participation in the revolution who were dubbed the Kandakas.
