Majid Khummam (November 5 1905 - May 22 1982) was the 2nd president of Salamat, from 1975 until the coup d'état of Jalil Al Kharrabi in May 1977.
Majid Khummam was one of the only Salamati presidents that didn't have any significant roles in the army or the Salamati Independence War, with Amine Benbahlil, Malik Khayri and Mohammed Jandubi. Khummam is considered as the "great diplomat" of Salamat, forging new relations with other countries. He is also behind the little economic boom of 1976, by increasing exports of natural gas and oil.
After his arrest during the 1977 coup, he was placed in detention in the Narqa Political Camp, and was sentenced to death by the Supreme Court of Salamat on November 25 1981. However, he was battling liver cancer at this time, and he died on May 22 1982 due to complications, before his execution, planned for June 1 1982.
