Full Bio
Adeeb Yousif was born in the village of Guldo in Darfur, Sudan. For 14 years, he worked with grass roots and social justice movements throughout Sudan. In April 2001, Adeeb co-founded the Sudan Social Development Organization (SUDO), a human rights, humanitarian relief, and development NGO.
Adeeb worked deep inside rural areas to empower local communities to demand their rights from the government. He then helped develop the Darfur Emergency Response Operation, which runs programs for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and host communities in Darfur. Due to his human rights activism, Adeeb was detained twice by the Sudanese government, for close to a year, and endured torture during this time.
Adeeb has dedicated his life to the humanitarian and human rights struggle to end the conflict and genocide in Darfur. He has played a key role in getting the plight of his people known to the outside world, through on-the-ground facilitation of the work of many of the most high-profile researchers and writers, and through his own media work. He help initiated the Rebel Letters Campaign and worked with Never Again International.
His current goal is to build the possibility for a sustainable peace in Darfur through a project targeted at local communities and key stakeholders in the region. Adeeb is currently the Executive Director of Darfur Reconciliation and Development Organization.
