I've represented Sudan and South Sudan across 23 years of foreign service, working in multilateral diplomatic missions abroad and in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Headquarters.

I am equipped with multiple qualifications in International Relations, English, and International Law which helped me navigate different work settings in International working environment. Starting from entry level as a diplomat, I progressed through all the ranks up to the top in two decades including assignments at Geneva and Addis Ababa.
