He quit his position as ambassador to Lebanon and Cyprus over the 2011 Yemeni uprising.[2] He was the first ambassador to resign over the uprising.[3] He previously served as a member of parliament for the ruling party, the General People's Congress.[4] He served as a representative in Al-Jawf Governorate but resigned in 2005 over alleged corruption.[5]

Since the Houthi takeover in Yemen, he has served as the undersecretary for foreign affairs and has met with the UN special envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths.[6] His brother is Sadeq who is the current head of the General People's Congress.[7]
