A bloodless coup d'état in Sudan overthrew the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and President Ahmed al-Mirghani on 30 June 1989, ending Sudan's third democratic era. Carried out by a faction of the Sudanese Armed Forces heavily infiltrated and directed by the National Islamic Front (NIF), the coup was led by Brigadier General Omar al-Bashir and architected by Islamist ideologue Hassan al-Turabi, establishing a totalitarian military-religious regime that ruled the country for the next 30 years until its overthrow in 2019.
