Iyed Hamadi is a Nonresident Fellow at TIMEP focusing on migration and displacement in Tunisia. He is a Tunisian researcher and humanitarian professional who has worked on crisis response, forced displacement, and border governance across Africa and Latin America. Iyed has supported refugees and displaced populations during some of the most underreported humanitarian emergencies, including the Sudanese refugee crisis in eastern Chad, the detention and return of migrants in Libya, and the unfolding displacement crisis on Honduras’ southern border. He currently serves as a grants and reporting coordinator at Action Contre la Faim (ACF), where he oversees donor relations, proposal development, and reporting for humanitarian and development programs in Sudan. Through his roles in international NGOs, Iyed has worked at the intersection of emergency response and long-term development. His work critically examines how donor-driven policies and border externalization frameworks impact migrants’ rights, local governance, and humanitarian neutrality. Iyed holds a Master’s degree in Sustainable Development from the University of Sussex and a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from the American University in Cairo. His research interests include displacement governance, decolonizing humanitarianism, and the politicization of borders in transitional contexts, such as Tunisia.
