Ahmad al-Akki

Ahmad al-Akki was the son of Sheikh Ibrahim al-Akki. Family members remember him as a very wealthy man with one son and four daughters, who left Akka for Lebanon in 1948.

In 1931 the newspaper Falastin reported that he was chosen as treasurer of a family savings fund set up by the Nour, Wahib, Arrabi and Akki families. In 1932 the paper named him and Ahmad al-Baradie to visit imprisoned family members in Haifa, and in 1934 it listed him on the council of the Sadiqi and Shaabi family solidarity society. He wears a bow tie in the society's committee photograph.
