Mohamed Aboelgheit (Arabic: محمد أبو الغيط; 3 October 1988, Assuit – 5 December 2022, London) was an Egyptian investigative journalist who was "in the vanguard of a new generation of activists and dynamic journalists that emerged from the turmoil of the Arab Spring."[1] His work, which is considered "unmatched in a region widely hostile to reporters,"[2] uncovered military health fraud in Egypt,[3] how Western countries violated bilateral arms sales in the Yemen War,[4] and revealed secret funding networks for Sudanese Rapid Support Forces militia.[5]
Aboelgheit died on December 5, 2022 at the age of 35, of stomach cancer, a 17 month ordeal he documented as a diary that was posthumously published as Oh Light, I am Coming (Arabic: أنا قادم أيها الضوء).[2][6]
