Abdikani Mohamed Wa'ays Explained

Abdikani Mohamed Wa'ays (died May 10, 2020) was a veteran Somali diplomat. He was serving concurrently as Somalia's ambassador to Egypt and the Arab League at the time of his death in May 2020 from COVID-19.[1] [2]

Wa'ays died from COVID-19 at a hospital in Kuwait on May 10, 2020. He had been hospitalized for a week prior to his death after testing positive for COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kuwait, though it was unknown why he originally traveled to Kuwait for treatment.[1] He had had diabetes as well.[1]
