Biography

[edit]

Osman earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Khartoum in 1978.[2] He became a diplomat in 1980s and served as Sudan ambassador to France (2016–2020), Pakistan, and Vatican.[2]

Osman was the Permanent Representatives of Sudan to the United Nations between 13 August 2010[3] to 16 April 2014.[4] After the 2012 Israeli airstrike of the Yarmouk ammunition factory, Osman brought the case to the UN Security Council.[5] He also claimed that Israel had violated Sudanese air space three times in recent years.[6] Osman further said that Sudan has a "right to react"[7] and to strike Israel.[8]

In 2019, Osman applied for early retirement but returned after the 2021 coup d'état, becoming the undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs until 8 December 2023. In 2024, he was appointed Sudan ambassador for Saudi Arabia.[2]

On 30 April 2025, Osman was appointed acting prime minister by president of the Transitional Sovereignty Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.[9][10]
