History Of Sudan (1969–85)
On 1969 Sudanese coup d'état, May 25, 1969, several young officers calling themselves the National Revolutionary Command Council (Sudan), Free Officers Movement (after the Free Officers Movement (Egypt), Egyptian officers who instigated the Egyptian revolution of 1952) seized power in Sudan and started the Nimeiri era in the history of Sudan. At the conspiracy's core were nine officers led by Colonel Jaafar an Nimeiri, who had been implicated in plots against the Ibrahim Abboud, Abboud regime. Nimeiri's coup preempted plots by other groups, most of which involved army factions supported by the Sudanese Communist Party (SCP), Arab nationalists, or Religious conservatism, conservative religious groups. He justified the coup on the grounds that civilian politicians had paralyzed the decision-making process, had failed to deal with the country's economic and regional problems, and had left Sudan without a permanent constitution.
