For nearly 30 years, Mubarak was the face of stability in the Mideast before being forced by the military to resign after 18-day nationwide protests

A file photo taken on Sept. 29, 2010, shows Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak at the presidential palace in Cairo.Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian leader who for nearly 30 years was the resolute face of stability in the Mideast before being forced by the military to resign after 18-day nationwide protests that were part of the Arab world’s 2011 pro-democracy upheaval, died on Tuesday, the country’s state-run TV said. He was 91.

Though Tunisia’s president fell before him, the ouster of Mubarak was the more stunning collapse in the face of the Arab Spring shaking regimes across the Arab world. The following year, Mubarak and his two sons - wealthy businessman Alaa and Mubarak’s one-time heir apparent Gamal — sentenced to three years in prison on corruption charges during a retrial. The sons were released in 2015 for time served, while Mubarak walked free in 2017.
