Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak Dies Aged 91
Hosni Mubarak, the former president of Egypt, has died aged 91, according to Egyptian state media.
The autocrat ruled the country from 1981 until he was toppled in the 2011 popular uprising during the Arab Spring revolts in the region.
Mubarak was jailed on charges that he had ordered the killing of protesters during the uprising.
But the former leader was freed in 2017 after being acquitted of most charges by the country’s top appeals court.
