That is a personal choice you have to make. How much do you love the sport and what are your goals. That is up to you if continuing makes sense.

You need to talk to officials in your area. They can help you more than we can here about your ability or what it takes to become an official. And they of course would know of what camps you can attend and what type of training is availible to you. Most of us here are from North America and mostly from the United States. So we do not deal with International Basketball or officiating in other countries for the most part. This is a great resource, but it might be limited to those that live across the world and the issues that those face when it comes to officiating.
I wish you good luck and in your career. But you should start at home first and get those answers locally. And if you have questions after that, this is not a bad place to start. But I would not put all your eggs in one basket. Because not all of us are necessarily familiar with international basketball or officiating in that region of the world. There once was someone from the Middle East that officiated there and posted here, but I have not seen him for some time.
Hope I gave some help.
Peace
