About Hosni Mubarak

Hosni Mubarak (1928–2020) served as President of Egypt from 1981 until 2011. His long rule combined stability in foreign policy with an authoritative domestic governance style. Mubarak’s era saw infrastructure and security-focused policies, but his presidency ended amid the 2011 popular uprisings that criticized corruption and rights abuses. He remains a major historical figure in modern Egyptian politics.
