Haris Debar, born in the UK in 2008, joined Harbingers’ Magazine in 2026 after a humanitarian trip to Nepal, which uncovered an interesting relationship between the state, private businesses and local communities. This prompted him to write an article outlining his findings.

Haris is currently head boy at the British International School Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, where is he studying for A-levels in geography, politics and English literature. He hopes to move back to the UK for university. He also leads his school’s Model United Nations programme.

He has a keen interest in international relations and law, and has been involved in many different international opportunities – including speaking at the World Health Organization (WHO) headquarters in Geneva and helping facilitate UK civil service events in his school in Riyadh.

Beyond his studies, Haris enjoys horse riding, swimming and debating. He is currently developing his Arabic and French language skills.
