SudanWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Sudanese foreign servant with over a decade of experience across public and private sectors, including two foreign diplomatic stints in London and New Delhi. My work has strengthened my conceptual, human, and technical capabilities—meeting deadlines under pressure, strategic thinking, and farsightedness—while staying quality-oriented and detail attentive.
In my roles with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and at the Embassy of the Republic of Sudan, I’ve handled desk duties for major regional and international organisations, advanced trade and investment affairs, and delivered political reporting and research in English and Arabic. I’ve also taken on high-responsibility functions such as acting as Charge’ d’affaires ad interim and Vice-chairing an AALCO liaison committee to review statutory rules; the revised rules were adopted by the organisation’s General Assembly. Alongside this, I developed practical solutions like an online assistance form for Sudanese students in India and contributed to evacuation support during the 2021 Covid wave, and I previously supported training and market research work (UNDP and Zain) that sharpened my technical proposal writing and research methodology. With an LLM focused on international economic law and an MBA, I’m ready to capitalise on my communication, technical, and numerical capabilities in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural environment.
