Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak dies

Addis Ababa, February 25, 2020 (FBC) -Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has died in Cairo at the age of 91.

Mubarak spent three decades in office before a popular uprising swept Egypt.

He was found guilty of complicity in the killing of protesters during the revolution. That conviction was overturned and he was freed in March 2017.

His death was confirmed by Egyptian state news on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, the Al-Watan website reported that he died at a military hospital in Cairo.
