Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak dies at 91

Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, who ruled the North African country for 30 years until a violent uprising, has died aged 91.
Mubarak was overthrown in 2011 and he was the first leader to face trial after the Arab Spring uprisings that swept the region.
He spent six years after facing trial in a litany of cases ranging from corruption to the killing of protesters, whose 18-day revolt stunned the world.
Mubarak was freed in 2017 after he was cleared of the final murder charges against him.
His death comes just days after his two sons were acquitted of illicit share trading during the sale of a bank four years before the 2011 uprising that ended his 30-year autocratic rule.
