Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the longtime leader of the country who was overthrown in the midst of an Arab Spring revolt, died Tuesday at age 91 in Egypt, state TV reported.

Mubarak died at a Cairo hospital after going through surgery following health complications, state TV reported, according to The Associated Press and Reuters.

The former U.S. ally and the autocratic leader, fought against Islamic militancy and maintained peace between Egypt, Israel and Palestinians within his nearly 30-year rule, before 18 days of street protests in 2011 resulted in his removal from office.

fought against Islamic militancy

Which was enough to make the Democrats help remove him. They also helped remove Gaddafi, who was cooperating with the U.S..

Mubarak died at a Cairo hospital after going through surgery following health complications... The former U.S. ally and the autocratic leader, fought against Islamic militancy and maintained peace between Egypt, Israel and Palestinians within his nearly 30-year rule...
...So Obama, Hillary, and their Iranian allies decided he had to go.

One of the many reasons Hillary Clinton will burn in Hell. The USA dodged a bullet when Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi overthrew Hillary’s Muslim Brotherhood pals who were installed after Mubarak.

When Mubarak fell (or was pushed) and the Muslim Brotherhood won election in 2012, after their disastrous 1+ year rule (which nearly started a Christian genocide in Egypt BTW)

The ONLY answer or explanation, to the question put to the Obama Regime of “why did you support the Muslim Brotherhood?” came from Tom Donilan, Obama’s National Security Advisor. “We thought the MB should learn how difficult it is to pick up trash and keep the lights on.”

Hillary and Obama were out to remove any eastern country leaders who did not go along with their Globalist New world Order agenda......Gaddafi, Mubarak and Assad all spoke out against that agenda openly, calling it exactly as it is and refused to comply...

Well actually they wanted to install Muslim Brotherhood leaders throughout the Middle East, as they had leaders already throughout those areas in their vast organization....Obama and Hillary believed they had enough power to control those leaders by offering them leadership positions, and this would keep the middle east nations all under one dominate roof......this is also why they consistently opposed Saudi Arabia who stood in their way.

I went to Egypt as a tourist just before Sec. of State Hillary’s “Arab Spring” got Pres. Mubarak kicked out. As an older man, obviously an American, I could walk at night in downtown Cairo and not be robbed or killed. I was safer than in Chicago or in D.C.

Mubarak was a dictator and ran a police state but was much less brutal than the radical Islamist Sissi who replaced him. Mubarak did a better job of protecting the Christian Copts than Egypt’s rulers since he was deposed. Arabs and Muslims seem to need a firm ruler so don’t expect democracy in those places.

Considering what happened to Anwar Sadat, he got off easy.
