David Lubari Biar Lominyo

David Lubari Biar Lominyo, born in 1968, is a South Sudanese international humanitarian worker. He has mainly worked in Africa and the Middle East. He attended Kizibu Primary School in the Republic of Uganda while in refuge; Yei-two Primary School; Yei-boys Intermediate School; Juba Day Secondary School; the University of Juba in the Republic of South Sudan; and the University of Khartoum in the Republic of the Sudan.

Lubari attributes his poetic and storytelling skills to his early childhood in a biodiverse rural context and the evening fireplace folklore stories told mainly by his mother, Martina Gire. The many civil wars in his country and his long experience working in armed conflict and natural disaster contexts have given him insights into the suffering of the people.
