Ahmad Mohammad Nasser was born in 1946 in a village called Ayromale located in the plains of Dioot of Eastern Akkele-Guzai.
In 1964 he joined the Eritrean Liberation Front and was sent to Iraq for training; he graduated as an officer from a military academy and was gifted a pistol and a watch by the Iraqi president Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr.
His training and qualification helped him to accomplish much in areas of developing strategies and tactics compatible with military objectives geared to attainment of a people’s aspiration for liberation in conditions of man-power and resources imbalance that favored the adversary.
After the independence of Eritrea, Ahmed and his colleagues appealed to Isaias Afwerki to form a national reconciliation government.
He explained his decision to relieve himself from a leadership position as an attempt to open the way for the young to assume their roles in the struggle.
