Raja Nicola Eissa Abdel-Masih[2] (Arabic: رجاء نيقولا عيسى عبد المسيح) is a civilian member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, Sudan's collective transitional head of state. She was chosen for this position[3] as one of six civilians to hold seats in the original 11-member council. She was the only one of them whose name was agreed upon through a consensus between the Forces of Freedom and Change alliance (FFC) and the Transitional Military Council (TMC), as was foreseen under the terms of the Draft Constitutional Declaration of August 2019.[4][5] She is the only civilian member of the TSC to have been reinstated by Chairman Abdel Fattah al-Burhan after he seized power in the 2021 military coup d'état.[6]
As such she is, along with fellow council member Aisha Musa el-Said, one of the first two women in modern Sudanese history to hold the role equivalent to a federal minister and is also the first Christian (as a member of the Coptic minority) to hold such a high political office in the country.[1] As a judge, she is responsible in particular for the legal system in Sudan.[7]
