Biography

Early life

Musa was born in Bogra, in his maternal grandparents' house. His paternal grandparents house is in Gandhamarua (Basintari) village in Aditmari Upazila, Lalmonirhat.[11] He was a student of Thakurgaon Sugar Mills High School. He passed Higher Secondary Certificate from Notre Dame College. He attained his Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree on science education and Master of Education (MEd) degree on educational evaluation and research from Institute of Education and Research (IER), University of Dhaka.[12] He later earned a degree on disaster management from BRAC University.

Work and achievements

Musa Ibrahim is the first Bangladeshi citizen who climbed Mount Everest. He reached the peak on 23 May 2010 where he hoisted the national flag of Bangladesh.[13] He used the North Alpine route on the Tibetan side to reach the highest peak of the world. Besides Musa, six Britons, three Montenegrins, an American and a Serbian were on the team. The China Tibet Mountaineering Association certified his climb. The certificate read "This is to certify that, on 23 May 2010 at 6.50am Md Musa Ibrahim Bangladesh reached the top of the peak of Everest, Chomolungma of Mt. Everest."[14]

Musa planned to organize Bangladesh-Russia friendship mountaineering to Mount Elbrus. This was declared at Russian Centre of Science And Culture, Dhaka. They hoisted the flags of Bangladesh, Russia and Kabardino-Balkaria Republic on Mount Elbrus. Dalhat Olmejhev, a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria Republic in Russia, guided them. The Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism, Bangladesh Tourism Board, Russian Embassy in Bangladesh and the sports and tourism ministries of Russia's Kabardino-Balkaria Republic aided the program.[15] Musa and Satyarup Siddhanta of India planned to participate in an expedition titled 'First Bangladesh-India Friendship Expedition to Mount Denali' in the first week of June 2014. This was announced at a sole talk programme by Sattar at the Indira Gandhi Cultural Centre (IGCC) of the Indian High Commission in Dhaka on Thursday, says a press release. Indian Deputy High Commissioner Sandwip Chakravarty spoke at the function wishing success of the expedition.[16]

Controversy

Nepal Parbat, a list of the Mount Everest toppers published by the Nepal's Ministry of Tourism and the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) did not include the name of Ibrahim. The list names MA Muhith and Nishat Majumder as the first Bangladeshi male and female to have climbed Mount Everest successfully. MA Muhith and Nishat Majumder also expressed doubts about Ibrahim's claims. However, Ibrahim said that there had been a conspiracy against him and NMA was influenced by the conspirator. The issue over the claim was moved to a court in Dhaka.[17] O'Mahoney, who had followed Ibrahim towards the Everest summit, claimed that he saw him at the third step of the route, the last barrier to the Everest summit.
