Former Sudanese President Suwar Al-Dahab Dies

KHARTOUM (Sudanow) - Former field marshal and president of Sudan Abdulrahman Suwar Al-Dahab, 83, died Thursday in Riyadh Military Hospital, Saudi Arabia.

Suwar Al-Dahab ousted President Gaafar Nimeiry in 1985 following mass demonstrations against the then regime but he passed leadership over to the elected government of al-Sadiq al-Mahdi in 1986.

He held the post of Chairman of the Islamic Dawa (Call) Organization, which is operating in many parts of the world, since 1987.
