Lieutenant General Mustafa Osman Obeid Salim (Arabic: مصطفى عثمان عبيد سالم) is a Sudanese Army officer who currently serves as Chief of Staff of the Sudanese Armed Forces.
Salim took command of the Armed Forces from Col. Gen. Ismat Abdel-Rahman at a handover ceremony on 25 June 2013. The changeover followed an attempted coup in November 2012, and also several military setbacks in the Sudan internal conflict, particularly in North Kordofan.[1]
Obeid also served temporarily as the Sudanese Minister of Defence after taking over from Abdel Rahim Mohammed Hussein from 6 June until August 2015, when he was replaced with Ahmed Awad Ibn Auf.[2][3][4]
