On December 2005 he participated in a demonstration in Mustafa Mahmoud Park in front of UNHCR's Cairo offices where at least 27 Sudanese asylum seekers were killed; he was arrested[citation needed] amongst hundreds others when the Egyptian police violently dispersed the demonstration.[1]
He stayed in Egypt until 2008 when, given the Egyptian government policy of deporting Sudanese refugees back to Sudan.[1]
In Israel Ahmed lived in Tel Aviv until 2009 when he had to leave the city under the Israeli order, which bounded African asylum seekers outside the area between Gedera in the south and Hadera in the north ("Gedera-Hadera policy"), forbidding them from living in the center of the country.[2] He moved to Eilat where he established an educational center for refugees children, who were not allowed to study in the public schools. On 2012 the "Gedera-Hadera policy" has been cancelled after the Israeli supreme court ruled that this policy was a violation of Israel's own labor laws.[2] Ahmed moved back to Tel Aviv, where he established another community educational center for refugees.[3]
Ahmed has submitted his Refugee Status Determination request[4] to the Israeli authorities in 2013 and, as thousands of other asylum seekers in Israel, is yet to receive an answer.[5][6]
