Omer M Shurkian

Dr Omer M Shurkian is a Sudanese-British citizen who is the author of several books on Sudan, including War in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan (1983-2011). He writes in both Arabic and English languages and has participated in a number of conferences within the UK and overseas to draw public attention to what is, for most outsiders, a largely unpublicised issue in world politics. He was granted a Passport for Freedom by the European Union in Strasbourg, France, in December 2011, for his tireless involvement in anti-Government campaigns for its horrific record on human rights violations against its opponents in Sudan.
