| Tributes are pouring in for veteran Sudanese journalist Mahjoub Mohamed Salih, who has died at the age of 95. | |
| Mr Salih passed away in the capital of Egypt, Cairo, on Thursday. | |
| South Sudanese and Sudanese journalists took to social media to express their grief at the passing of a media icon who founded the oldest independent newspaper in Sudan, Al-Ayyam, in 1958. | |
| “We mourn the dean of Sudanese journalists, Mr Mahjoub Mohamed Salih, a fierce warrior on the path of peace and justice, defender of democracy and human rights," wrote journalist Isma’il Kushkush. | |
| Mr Salih became a journalist in 1949 after joining the Sudanese independence movement from Egypt. | |
| He rose to prominence when he started covering the war in the western Sudan region of Darfur in 2003. | |
| The Sudanese government forced him to close down his newspaper from November 2003 to January 2004 due to his reporting on the crisis in Darfur. | |
| The Sudanese authorities said the closure was due to Al-Ayaam’s failure to pay taxes. | |
| Mr Salih was also imprisoned several times for his coverage of the war. | |
| In 2005 he received the Golden Pen of Freedom Award by the World Association of Newspapers. | |
| Sumaya Elmatbagi, who worked as a reporter for Al-Ayyam newspaper for a number of years, mourned her former editor-in-chief in a moving post. | |
| “You left us without saying goodbye – even to the homeland that you loved, struggled and fought for it all your life. | |
| "You left without completing the story of your beloved city, Bahari, you left far from the land that you loved (Sudan). | |
| “You are gone and the echoes | |
| of your voice still call us to the values of: freedom, peace, humanity and | |
| dignity. We mourn you. We will not forget your memory Mahjoub Mohamed Salih, | |
| father and friend of journalists." | |
