KHARTOUM (Sudannow) - This month six years have elapsed since the death of the Sudanese People's Poet Mahjoub Sahrif, a strong voice in the defense of the people's struggle for democracy, freedom and honourable livelihood through his special style in composing verse in the Sudanese vernacular.

Majoub Sharif was born in 1948 in the Abgaddoom Village in central Sudan and died in Omdurman here on 2 April 2014.
