Instead of working with seven different parties, people could just call me and I managed the entire process. Companies paid me directly to manage a turnkey solution of what they wanted – anything, from finding products and materials to human resources.

I’m from West Africa, and understood the continent better than I understood Afghanistan, for instance. And so I decided it was time to invest ahead of the curve, and started looking at key countries that I thought would garner international support for stability. So I travelled down to South Sudan about two years before it became independent, and after having had a look around, I realised the establishment of a new country would lead to an influx of international organisations, such as the World Bank and the United Nations, which were our typical clients at the time. We started in South Sudan and from there went on to do work in Darfur for the UN and also in Chad, and slowly we evolved into a very Africa-centric company.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;line-height:106%;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>RA International is headquartered in Dubai, with regional offices across Africa.

It was agreed that we would drop a group of soldiers off at the next village, but en route we got ambushed and two of our team members, out of fear, jumped from the vehicle and ran away into bush. It took us about two weeks to eventually get our people, including the two who ran away, and equipment back to the base.
