The sixty testimonies in Catalan, Spanish, Arabic, French and English given by his friends and relatives trace the story of a discrete, altruistic and unselfish man, a man on the frontier and a bridge-builder.

The introduction of "Homenatge a Ahmed Ghazali" says: "We wanted to ensure that the contributions were multilingual, because in the Ahmed shaped world, borders were irremediably broken. And so were languages. He used to call his own writings "border writings’'. Adding that the purpose is designed to reflect him, as his family and friends saw him-"Ahmed, in this intense lifetime you had, being discreet was part of your way of life. Now your passing requires that we express our grief and our anger, our friendship and our love for you. As you didn't like tributes, we are sorry but we must celebrate you before saying goodbye".

Engineer, author and museum expert, the late Ahmed Ghazali was involved in several projects, including museums in Europe, Asia and Morocco, notably the Museum of the Moroccan Water Civilisation in Marrakech, the Jerada Mining Ecomuseum, the Al Hoceïma Regional Museum and the Sidi Abderrahmane Prehistoric Park in Casablanca.

Ahmed Ghazali was the author of theatre plays that have been translated into several languages and staged in many cities, including Toronto, Madrid, Montpellier, Casablanca, Brussels, London, Milan, New York and Sydney. His plays include L'agneau et la baleine (SACD 2001 award for dramatic writing in French, Éditions Théâtrales, 2002), Tombouctou, 52 jours à dos de chameau (Éditions Icaria, 2005), Travessies (Pausa, Sala Beckett, 2006) and El cel massa baix et Mellah.
