Hosni Moubarak

Hosni Moubarak served as the President of Egypt from 1981 until his resignation in 2011 amid widespread protests during the Arab Spring. His long tenure was characterized by a stable but authoritarian regime, with significant military influence and a focus on economic liberalization. Following his ousting, Moubarak faced legal challenges and was tried for corruption and complicity in the deaths of protesters, becoming a symbol of the struggle against authoritarian rule in the region.
