It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic loss of our colleague, Abdelrahman Abbas Rahama who worked for our USAID mission in Sudan. While traveling with USAID Foreign Service Officer John Granville, Mr. Rahama was killed in Sudan on New Year’s Day. He was a valued member of the community and a loyal employee, whose exemplary service to our Sudan Mission was crucial and appreciated. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
Mr. Rahama was born in Juba, Sudan. He attended Juba Primary and Intermediate School and graduated from Khartoum Trade School. He began his USAID career with the USAID Darfur DART team when it started in 2004. He was officially hired as a driver by USAID in November 2005. He is survived by his wife, Fatima Mohamed Ali Osman, and one year old son, Mugtaba. Mr. Rahama also provided support to his father.
Foreign Service Nationals are the backbone of our development efforts worldwide. On a daily basis, our FSNs put their lives on the line. As we mourn this loss, let us rededicate ourselves to our mission so that our colleague's lost life shall not be in vain.
