As part of academic engagements hosted in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, Dr. Osama Ahmed Elmustafa, Member of the Board of Directors of US Meta Arees International University, participated in a high-level scholarly meeting that brought together distinguished academics from University of Nairobi and several universities across Africa. The meeting was attended by Professor Muaz Ahmed Tango, a prominent scholar of public international law and a recognized authority in international boundary law and dispute resolution.
The meeting was convened to strengthen cross-border academic partnerships and explore avenues for collaboration in international law, governance, and strategic studies. Professor Tango’s presence added significant intellectual value, reflecting his standing as a leading academic authority and a practitioner with deep institutional experience within state structures.
Professor Tango holds a Ph.D. in International Law from University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. Throughout his career, he has dedicated his work to issues of national sovereignty and boundary delimitation, developing institutional and strategic frameworks for managing and resolving boundary disputes in accordance with international law and globally recognized standards. He previously served as Chairman of the National Borders Commission, where he led comprehensive institutional restructuring efforts and introduced professional methodologies to address sensitive boundary matters with legal rigor and strategic foresight.
He has also held senior leadership positions within the Ministry of Justice, contributing to the development of legal frameworks governing treaties and international obligations. In addition, Professor Tango is a distinguished expert in international human rights law, having contributed to numerous reports submitted to regional and international mechanisms, thereby strengthening institutional legal engagement at both regional and global levels. He is the author of several scholarly publications and the founder and Editor-in-Chief of a specialized academic journal in human rights.
During the meeting, Professor Tango expressed his honor and enthusiasm in joining the University’s Board of Trustees, emphasizing the importance of building independent academic institutions capable of preparing legal and intellectual leaders equipped to address the complex challenges of modern statehood—particularly in matters of sovereignty, boundary delimitation, and international arbitration.
This engagement reflects the University’s strategic commitment to attracting globally respected academic figures, further enhancing its academic presence in Africa and advancing its mission to bridge rigorous scholarship with practical application through a forward-looking, transnational educational vision.
