Summary
Hayder Kedir is an Ethiopian dawah preacher also known by the kunya Abu Hayder, and clips of his talks circulate on TikTok under his name and kunya. 1 2 His Facebook author page counted 320,000 followers in the read of a page post's metadata — the post dated August 2026 — made by this wave's harvest on 7 November 2026; Facebook fetch is blocked in the build environment, so that figure is the harvest's same-day read, not this record writer's, and the page's exact URL could not be pinned despite searching. 3
Public voice
An Africa Press report on the sixth annual nationwide Grand Street Iftar stated that Ustaz Hayder Kedir is President of the Ethiopian Muslim Youth Council, and quoted him saying that year's programme was unique as it would take place simultaneously across the country, providing an opportunity for young people to strengthen their role in promoting unity, development, and social progress. 4 His remarks appeared in the same report alongside those of another preacher, Ustaz Abubeker Ahmed of the Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council. 4
Platforms and impact
Clips of his public speeches circulate on TikTok through clip accounts: a clip posted by Abdela Shifa on 22 April 2026, captioned with "Justice for Aksum Muslims" and the name Ustaz Hayder Kedir, showed 29,800 plays when read on 7 November 2026, and another clip, posted on 6 December 2025 and closing its description with the words "Abu heydar kedir", showed 564,200 plays when read the same day. 2 1 This record is deliberately minimal and honest: no Wikipedia article in any language could be found for him, so no birth date and no school of law are recorded here, and the Amharic-script rendering of his full name that the harvest flagged as unverified could not be verified, so it is not recorded. 4 3
