Egypt’s leader for nearly 30 years, Hosni Mubarak, has died, Egyptian state television announced Tuesday. He was 91 years old. State TV said Mubarak died at a hospital in the capital Cairo where he had undergone an unnamed operation. Mubarak became president in 1981, following the killing of President Anwar Sadat. At first, few people thought his presidency would last. But he remained in power until his overthrow by the military in 2011. During his presidency, Mubarak was an important ally to the U.S. The U.S. gave his country billions of dollars in assistance. U.S. administrations considered him a force for peace and stability in the Middle East. But, to the hundreds of thousands of Egyptians who protested for 18 days in 2011, Mubarak was a kind of dictator.
