Egypt's revolution 2011 (301)
|
After the 1981 assassination of President Anwar El Sadat, Hosni Mubarak was the head of Egypt's semi-presidential republic government and was, until his departure in 2011, the longest serving President in Egypt's history. Mubarak and his National Democratic Party (NDP) government maintained one-party rule under a continuous state of emergency. Mubarak's government earned the support of the West and a continuation of annual aid from the United States by maintaining policies of suppression towards Islamic militants and peace with Israel. Hosni Mubarak was often compared to an Egyptian pharaoh by the media and by some of his harsher critics due to his authoritarian rule.
