==Longevity claim== It is claimed that al-Moqri died at the reputed age of 112, according to the ''[[Guinness Book of World Records]]'', or even of 116, according to other sources. Both figures are doubtful. There are no birth records or other evidence for these claims. It is rare to attain such an age and unheard of to be head of government at 110 or 114. John Gunther's book ''Inside Africa'' (published 1955) says he was born in 1851: other sources list his birth year as 1854. Vermeren gives 1860.<ref name=ver/> The Britannica Book of the Year gives his birthdate as February 1841.
