August 18, 2011 (WASHINGTON) – The United States president Barack Obama announced today his intention to nominate a senior official at the State Department to become the country’s first ambassador to South Sudan.

From 2005 to 2007, she served as the Director of the Rule of Law and Judicial System Advisory Unit at the United Nations Peace Support Mission to the Sudan. From 2002 to 2005, Page was the legal advisor to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development Secretariat for Peace in the Sudan.
