Ahmed Maher (youth leader)

Ahmed Maher, (born 2 December 1980 in Alexandria), is one of the co-founders of the April 6 Youth Movement, and a prominent participant in the anti-Mubarak demonstrations in Egypt in 2011.^[1]^[2]

Maher is a civil engineer^[3] who works for a construction firm in New Cairo.

Maher attempted to organize several demonstrations after April 2008^[4]. However, his efforts were hindered both by interference from Egyptian security forces^[5]^[6] and internal divisions within the April 6 movement. In June 2010, Maher helped organize a protest against the killing, by Egyptian police, of Khaled Said, a young resident of Alexandria. Maher has expressed support for the potential bid of Mohamed ElBaradei for the Egyptian presidency^[7].
