One of several victims to the Arab Spring of 2011, Hosni Mubarak came to power as Egypt's 4th official president following the assassination of Anwar Sadat in October 1981. He held that role for 40 years, throughout which Egyptians faced social injustice, lack of freedom and job discrimination. Those who dared to criticize the Mubaraks and/or protested against the regime were tortured in secret prisons. The Police system was unfair with the poor and actually kick-started the 2011 uprising in the country when they tortured an anti-Mubarak activist and later disclosed his death as suicide when the protester, Khaled Mohammed Saeed was actually murdered. Politicians were pro-Mubarak as when elected to parliament, they passed laws that only helped the regime even more.

As typical of a dictatorship, the press, TV shows and cinema were forbidden from criticizing the authority, you could be imprisoned for a few days if you walked alone at 5AM, even if you were peaceful. In Mubarak's Egypt, there was no healthcare as the medical system possessed no potential to examine the poor and treat them and the numberless amount of people dying of viruses is says a lot about how life in Mubarak's Egypt sucked.

During the uprising, Hosni Mubarak resigned and had the power of Egypt's president handed over to Mohamad Hussein Tantawi (no relation to Iraq's Saddam Hussein) who acted as interim before Mohamad Morsi took over. Mubarak died in February 2020 of old age and natural causes, just as COVID-19 began to engulf the world. He had been acquitted after a long trial related to his downfall. Mubarak, Ben Ali (president of Tunisia) and Muammar Gaddafi (president of Libya) were portrayed in an internet video that was a political parody of the mobile game Angry Birds set to the Disney song “Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?” called Three Big Pigs which was made when all three were alive and shortly after Mubarak resigned.
