Later life and death
As a result of the fallout, Boghdadi withdrew from political life, although the rift between him and Nasser was reconciled before 1970.
In 1972, during Sadat's presidency, Boghdadi and nine other prominent former members of the Egyptian government sent a note to Sadat, criticising his government for "over-dependence on the Soviet Union."[2] Boghdadi opposed Sadat's peace treaty with Israel in 1978, as did all the other then-living former RCC members.[6]
On 8 September 1999 Boghdadi was hospitalised with complications from liver cancer. He was pronounced dead at the age of 81 the next day. A state funeral for Boghdadi was held on 10 September in a Cairo suburb. The ceremonies were attended by Egypt's then president, Hosni Mubarak, and other high-ranking government figures. Mubarak issued a statement saying that Boghdadi had "served his country with devotion".[2]
