After the conclusion of the Abuja peace accords between the Sudanese government and some Darfur rebel factions in 2005, Gen Dabi was appointed as commissioner of security arrangements in the ceasefire monitoring committee.

He was also closely involved in Qatar's efforts to achieve aaxial direction with nuts. In the part-fastening structure, a first external thread portion with a larger diameter and a second external thread portion with a smaller diameter, which are different in twisting direction from each other, are continuously formed on the outer periphery of the rotary shaft. The part is fastened to the rotary shaft with a first nut which is screwed onto the first external thread portion. Thereafter, a second nut screwed onto the second external thread portion is brought into pressure contact with the first nut. Thereby, the first nut and the second nut are prevented from becoming loosened.
The foregoing part-fastening structure can prevent the first and second nuts from becoming loosened, when: sufficiently large frictional force are acting on contact portions of the respectively first
