A book written by Awaleh, Djibouti: Key to the Red Sea (Djibouti Clef de la Mer Rouge), was published in February 1986. He clandestinely left Djibouti in May 1986 and went into exile in France.[1] As an exiled opposition leader,[1][2] he founded the Djiboutian National Movement for the Establishment of Democracy and the Union of Democratic Movements while in France.[1] In Djibouti, he was accused of "attempting to destabilize the government and murder senior officials" and was sentenced in absentia to life in prison on September 7, 1986, along with two others.[7]
In 1992, Awaleh founded the National Democratic Party (PND) in
On October 27, 1995, a PND protest was broken up by the police and Awaleh was among those arrested.
The PND experienced internal division in the late 1990s. In May 1997, Awaleh suspended PND spokesman Farah Ali Wabert from the party, a move that reportedly exacerbated the situation. By November 1998, a rival leadership under Mahdi Ahmed Abdillahié controlled the PND headquarters, and in December 1998 Awaleh was reported to be missing.[8] The factions apparently reconciled by 2002.[15]

On March 10, 2004, Awaleh was chosen by the National Assembly as one of Djibouti's five members of the Pan-African Parliament (PAP);[23][24] as a result, he was present for the opening of the PAP later in the month, and he was elected as a member of the Pan-African Parliament's ad hoc committee responsible for verification of powers.[25] In the National Assembly of Djibouti, he has served as a member of the Legislation and General Administration Commission.[26]
Awaleh and the PND supported Guelleh in the
Awaleh and the PND split from the ruling coalition in 2010 after Guelleh pushed through constitutional changes allowing him to run for a third term. The party re-joined the opposition and boycotted of the 2011 election.
In the February 2013 elections, he was re-elected to the National Assembly on the lists of the Union for National Salvation (USN opposition). Despite the decision of his movement to establish a "parallel Parliament", he sits from June.
He died in Djibouti on October 31, 2014, and was buried in Ali Sabieh.
