Statement from AMREF Director General Dr Teguest Guerma
It is with deep shock and sorrow that I inform you of the sudden death of Dr Alemayehu Seifu who was the AMREF Country Director in South Sudan.
Dr Alemayehu was shot dead by unknown assasins on the evening of Saturday, January 14, 2012 at the gate of his residence in Juba. This is a very sad moment for the entire AMREF family and we stand in solidarity with Alemayehu's family and all AMREF South Sudan Staff during this very difficult moment.
AMREF is working with the government of South Sudan to manage the situation and will keep all informed as we receive more information.
All the Best
Dr Teguest Guerma
