Biography


al-Dahab was born in 1934. Some sources put his birth place in Al-Ubayyidin, others in Omdurman.[2][3] He graduated from the Sudanese Military Academy. He became a prominent figure when former president Gaafar Nimeiry appointed him Chief of Staff, and then Minister of Defence and general commander of the armed forces in 1984.[3]


In 1985 he launched a coup ousting President Gaafar Nimeiry[4] leading to him becoming the Chairman of the Transitional Military Council. Following elections, he surrendered power to the government of head of state Ahmed al-Mirghani and prime minister Sadiq al-Mahdi in 1986.[5]


In 1987, he became Chairman of the Islamic Call Organization.[6][7]


In 2004, he received the King Faisal International Prize for his service to Islam. He died on 18 October 2018 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia of natural causes[8]
