About this person

Mubarak came up through the Egyptian Air Force, rising to air chief marshal in 1973 and commander before Sadat made him vice president in 1975. He took the presidency after Sadat's assassination in 1981 and renewed it through controlled referendums until U.S. pressure forced a multi-party election in 2005, which he won. He brought Egypt back into the Arab League in 1989 and played broker in Gulf and Israeli-Palestinian affairs, but the state of emergency in place since 1967 never lifted - opposition was crushed, the security services grew brutal, corruption spread. The 2011 revolution forced him out after eighteen days. The trials that followed made him the first Arab leader to face an ordinary court at home: life imprisonment in 2012, overturned on appeal, retrial and conviction in 2015, then acquittal in 2017. He died in 2020 at ninety-one and was buried with military honors outside Cairo.
