Running career

[edit]

Souleiman's first international appearances came in 2009, when he placed tenth in the 1500 m at the Jeux de la Francophonie and ran in the heats of the 3000 m at the World Youth Championships.[4]

In 2011, Souleiman won the title of 1500 m of the 2011 Pan Arab Games in Doha, in a time of 3:34.32, to win his country's first medal in this competition.[5] He also placed sixth in the 1500 m at the 2011 All-Africa Games.[6]

The following season saw him appear on the global scene, as he reached fifth in the final at the 2012 IAAF World Indoor Championships.[4] His first major medal followed at the 2012 African Championships in Athletics where he claimed the silver medal in the 1500 m.[7]

Souleiman set the Djiboutian national indoor record in the 3000 m at the Indoor Flanders Meeting in February 2013, coming third with a time of 7:39.81 minutes.[8] In June 2013 he ran a national record at 800 m at a meet in Sweden.

Souleiman won the bronze medal at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics held in Moscow in August 2013, finishing behind Mohammed Aman of Ethiopia and Nick Symmonds of the United States.[9]
