In 2003, when he was 10 years old, members of the Janjaweed militia came to burn down his village and killed 97 people, including his father. In 2010 he fled the violence in Sudan’s war-ravaged Darfur region aged 17, and Mohammed spent three days crossing the Sinai Desert from Egypt to Israel on foot, where he was eventually granted refugee protection. He found employment in Tel-Aviv and joined a running club, The Alley Runners in 2014. He finished 40th in his European Cross Country Champion Clubs Cup debut in 2017, 30th in 2018, and 22nd in the 2019 edition on 3 February in Albufeira, Portugal.
