Mo Ibrahim Foundation Resume __Name:__  Omar al-Bashir

__Country:__  I am the leader of the African country Sudan. Sudan has a population of 41,347,723 people with our capital being Khartoum. We communicate through the Arabic and English. Religions include Muslim, Christian, and local beliefs. Sudan covers a total of 917,374 square miles with 26 states. We are located at 15° 65' N, 32° 48' E and we are famous for the Drakensberg mountain range and the Table Mountain. The Orange River, one of Africa’s important rivers, runs through the Drakensberg mountains. The economy here in Sudan is very strong. We are strong in agriculture production and our main export is oil. 80 percent of our people have jobs here in Sudan.

__Background Information:__  I was born on January 1st 1944 (68 years old). Before I was president, I was commander in the army and continued when elected. I was responsible for going up against John Garang, a rebel leader in the South. I took office office of Sudan on June 30, 1989. When I took office, a civil war between the North and South was going on as well as a poor economy and I helped to repair that. As well as president of Sudan, I am also the head of the National Congress Party. I was in the service from 1960-1996 and took part in the First and Second Sudanese Civil Wars, and the Yom Kippur War. In 2008, I was charged for ten criminal crimes. These crimes were against the genocide (killing, hurting people), humanity (murder, rape), and war crimes (Darfur civilian attacks). However, I was re-elected into office again in 2010 and currently remain president of Sudan. I should receive the prize of $5,000,000 awarded by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation because of the ways I repaired Sudan and my self involvement in the world.

__References:__ Hosni Mubarak of Egypt has faced many of the economic pressures as I have. We have many historical ties and our outlooks on politics and culture are similar. I do not have any other references because many countries do not agree with some of my actions and we are more independent. We should get the $5,000,000 because we are a strong country and we don’t need others to stay that way.
