Starting a new job is rarely easy. Starting a new job as Canada’s first-ever Muslim Senator the week after 9/11 is a whole other level of challenging. British Columbia ISG Senator Mobina Jaffer, who reaches the Senate ’s mandatory retirement age of 75 this August, was appointed to the Red Chamber by then-prime minister Jean Chrétien in June 2001, but her swearing-in didn’t happen until September. With Senators taking their seats to start the fall sitting exactly one week after the Sept.
” “At that time, I was able to go to more of Sudan than the rebels were or the president was,” said Jaffer, who made use of the UN’s planes. “When I saw President Bashir, I would always say to him, ‘OK, I went to a part that you can’t go, ask me what you want to know.’” She said she did the same during her meetings with former Sudan People’s Liberation Movement leader John Garang, who briefly served as first vice-president of Sudan and then president of Southern Sudan before his death in 2005.
