Mohamud who for three years headed the Somali mission in Khartoum during the time of the later former TFG president Abdullahi Yussuf Ahmed was found dead in his house in the Sudanese capital.

Reports say the ex-diplomat has been suffering unspecified heart problem and has been dead in his house for the last three days before his lifeless body was found last night.

Mohamud has also previously served as Somali envoy in several countries including the Islamic Republic of Iran.
