Ghandour in 2017

Ibrahim Ghandour (Arabic: إبراهيم غندور‎; born 6 December 1952)[1] was the Foreign Minister of Sudan from 9 June 2015 to 19 April 2018[2][3] and the former head of the ruling National Congress Party.[4]

Ghandour, whose background is in academia as opposed to the military, was chosen as part of an attempt by the Sudanese government to boost ties with the United States. Ghandour is a former presidential assistant, and also previously worked as a consultant with the World Health Organization.[2]

Ghandour was imprisoned in 2020 after Omar Bashir's ouster.[5] He was released from prison after the October 2021 Sudanese coup d'état[4] but was imprisoned again the following day.[6]
