What happened to Mr. Atto


I tried googling it but couldn't find anything specific.

Was he convicted of something?

I remember reading his wiki page years ago. There's a lot about him that didn't make it into the film...like that he used to be pro-American at one point in his life.

He detested his portrayal in the film, complaining that the film made him seem ostentatious whereas he considered himself humble in terms of his tastes and physical image.

He was released, and actually ran for some kind of office over there, and later also got into the khat trade. He ended up dying from disease
