Tulinabo Salama Mushingi (born August 4, 1956) is an American diplomat who currently serves a joint appointment as United States Ambassador to Senegal and United States Ambassador to Guinea-Bissau. He previously served as the United States Ambassador to Burkina Faso from 2013 to 2016. He also served in the executive offices of Secretaries of State John F. Kerry and Hillary Clinton. In February 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Mushingi to serve concurrently as United States Ambassador to Senegal and United States Ambassador to Guinea-Bissau. Mushingi had originally been nominated for the position by outgoing President Barack Obama in January 2017. When Trump took office, he withdrew Mushingi's nomination before renominating him for the same position. He was confirmed by the United States Senate by voice vote on May 18, 2017.
Mushingi started his career with the US Peace Corps and served in Papua New Guinea, DR Congo, Niger, and the Central African Republic. He earned a Master's degree from Howard University and a PhD. from Georgetown University. He was also a visiting lecturer at Dartmouth College for many years and taught at Howard University, before being hired as an instructor at the U.S. State Department's Foreign Service Institute (FSI).
After being accepted into the foreign service, Mushingi served a series of domestic and overseas assignments including Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Maputo, Mozambique; Lusaka, Zambia; Casablanca, Morocco; and tours in Washington D.C. in the Bureau of Intelligence and Research; the Bureau of International Organization Affairs and the Bureau of Human Resources.
