Dr Abdel Falah Hassan Hamadi al-Sudani is the Minister of Trade in the government of Nouri al-Maliki. He was appointed in May 2006 and previously served as Education Minister in the Iraqi Transitional Government. He was born in Basra in 1947 and went into exile in Britain in the late 1970s. In 1981 received a doctorate in Biochemistry from the University of Wales. He is a member of the Islamic Dawa Party - Iraq Organisation.
In June 2006 Australian troops mistakenly shot dead one of his bodyguards, provoking a diplomatic crisis.
In May 2009, arrest warrants were issued by the anti-corruption Integrity Commission on eight trade ministry officials, including two of al-Sudani's brothers and the head of the Iraqi Grain Board. The head of the Council of Representatives of Iraq's Integrity Committee, Sabah al-Saedi from the Islamic Virtue Party, called on al-Sudani to resign. al-Saedi said the ministry had become "a remarkable source of corruption and squandering of public funds"
