Born in [[Babylon Province]], he studied engineering at [[Imperial College London]].
El-Shibib was elected to the leadership of [[Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Iraq Region|Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party]], and was one of a triumvirate who planned the later coup against President [[Abdul Karim Qassim]]. He became foreign minister under the new regime in 1963.
Internal disagreements led him to go in exile. After the [[17 July Revolution|second coup in 1968]], El-Shibib was given several ambassadorial posts. In 1976 he resigned from the post as Iraqi ambassador to Germany and went into exile again when disagreements arose between him and [[Saddam Hussein]]’s policies. He devoted the remainder of his life in exile while campaigning against Saddam and for a democratic Iraq.
