The death of the Sudanese poet Muhammad Taha Al-Qaddal

On Sunday evening, the great Sudanese poet, Muhammad Taha Al-Qaddal, passed away at the age of seventy, after a long journey of poetic giving that inspired many Sudanese.

Al-Qaddal - who abandoned studying medicine - in order to devote himself to poetry - was known for his own vocabulary derived from the cultural and linguistic environment in which he grew up in the Al-Jazeera region in central Sudan, and Abd al-Rahman al-Abnoudi classified him as one of the best Arab poets.

Al-Qaddal began his poetic career at the end of the sixties of the last century, but his star brightened strongly in the early eighties, as he emerged as a revolutionary poet whose poetry found a great resonance in the Sudanese street at that time. The Brotherhood regime was toppled in April 2019.
