He talked about the need for security forces to kill peaceful demonstrators of the former head of state Omar al-Bashir's regime.[1][12] He has been identified as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.[1] Ahmed responded that his focus was on who was killing the peaceful demonstrators, and that the focus of security forces should be on protecting them from armed demonstrators.[13]
