Our Story

Before it was ever registered, the heart of the Al Ayyam Centre lived in the pages of Al Ayyam Newspaper, one of Sudan’s most trusted voices for truth and dialogue.

Al Ayyam Centre for Cultural Studies and Development (ACCSD) was officially registered.
It was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that knowledge and dialogue are the true foundations of peace and progress.

As public spaces were closing and conversations fading, a group of Sudanese thinkers, journalists, and civic actors came together.
Their purpose: to create a space that protects dialogue and reconnects communities through shared ideas.

Guided by the life and values of Professor Mahgoub Mohamed Salih, the Centre inherited his unwavering integrity and wisdom.
For seven decades, he embodied the courage and ethics that defined Sudanese journalism.

After Mahgoub’s passing, the Centre became a living continuation of his mission — transforming memory into movement, and principle into practice.
His voice still echoes in every forum, reminding us that journalism must serve the people, not power.

Over the years, the Centre evolved into a bridge between media, academia, and civil society.
It became a place where youth, women, thinkers, and community leaders meet safely to share and rebuild.

Even through war, exile, and uncertainty, the Centre continues its mission — connecting Sudanese voices across borders and preserving the nation’s intellectual and cultural memory.

Today, the Al Ayyam Centre stands as both a tribute and a promise — carrying forward Mahgoub Mohamed Salih’s vision with integrity, empathy, and an enduring belief in dialogue as the highest form of national service.
