A coup d'état occurred in Sudan on 6 April 1985 when the high command of the Sudanese Armed Forces, led by Defense Minister and Commander-in-Chief Field Marshal Abdel Rahman Swar al-Dahab, overthrew the government of President Gaafar Nimeiry. The military intervention successfully concluded a massive wave of civil disobedience known as the 1985 April Revolution, effectively ending Nimeiry's 16-year authoritarian rule.
