Timeline

1920

Salah Salem (صلاح سالم) (September 25, 1920 – February 18, 1962) was an Egyptian military officer and politician who was a prominent member of the Free Officers Movement that orchestrated the Egyptian Revolution of 1952.

Salem was born in 1920 to an Egyptian family in Sinkat, Sudan, which was a colony ran by Egypt and Britain under a condominium, at the time.

He was raised in the Hilmiyyat Gadida neighborhood of Cairo, where he was educated at the Ibrahimiyyeh School.

1938

In 1938, he graduated from the Royal Egyptian Military Academy.

1947

He, along with four other future members of the Free Officers, was ranked in the top 10 percent of his classes at the General Staff College by 1947.

1948

He graduated from college in 1948.

That same year, Salem served in the Egyptian and Sudanese army in the Palestine War as an infantry officer.

Salem, Amer and Abdel Latif Boghdadi were included in the eight-member executive committee of the Free Officers.

1952

In the initial stages of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 that overthrew King Farouk, Salim was given the task of commanding artillery units in al-Arish.

Afterward, he became a member of the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC).

1953

When Mohamed Naguib, the leader of the Free Officers, was selected by the RCC to become President of Egypt in 1953, Salem was given the posts of Minister of National Guidance, and Minister of State for Sudanese Affairs.

As part of his National Guidance portfolio, Salem warned the Egyptian press against "rumour mongering", and threatened to suspend the licences of journalists who "deviated from the upright path."

1954

When Gamal Abdel Nasser assumed the leadership of Egypt in late 1954, following the RCC's removal of Naguib, Salem was dispatched on a tour of Arab capitals, stopping first at Riyadh, where he helped forge a common Egyptian-Saudi Arabian policy of opposition to the British-sponsored Baghdad Pact, and the espousal thereof by the Iraqi government.

He condemned Iraq's membership of the Baghdad Pact, saying: "This is a serious development which may threaten the Arab League and expose Arab nationalism to great dangers..."

1955

On January 31, 1955, he along with foreign and prime ministers from Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri as-Said.

The meeting ended with a realisation that the demands of Said's Iraq and Nasser' Egypt were irreconcilable.

1956

In the Suez Crisis of 1956, known in Egypt as the Tripartite Aggression, Salem is said to have demanded that Nasser hand himself over to the British forces invading the country, as a means of ending the war.

Nasser ordered Salem, along with Abdel Hakim Amer, to Port Said and berated them in front of their army comrades for breaking down during the invasion and opting for surrender.

1957

In 1957, Nasser appointed Salem the editor of Al-Shaab newspaper.

1960

In 1960, Salem was made chairman of the Press Syndicate.

1962

Salem died in 1962 of chronic kidney disease, after seeking treatment both in the Soviet Union, and the United States.

A major street in Cairo is named after him.

2019

Salem was committed strongly to preserving the Egyptian union with Sudan, which was under continual threat by the United Kingdom, which had occupied Egypt and Sudan since the end of the 19th century.

Salem earned the nickname the "Dancing Major" after being photographed dancing with Sudanese tribesmen.

Accusations that he was bribing Sudanese politicians later caused Naguib to block Salem's appointment as the Egyptian government's representative in Khartoum.
