He subsequently remained in the humanitarian system, undertaking a masters degree in International Humanitarian Action and working for the European Commission’s humanitarian department, as well as the United Nations and a range of NGOs. He recently completed another masters degree in Religion in Peace and Conflict at Uppsala University.
