For many Egyptians, Mubarak became the symbol of all that was wrong with their country.

 

His nearly three-decade rule is recalled as a time of political repression, widespread corruption and economic stagnation for all but an elite few.

Many Egyptians who took to the streets in early 2011 seeking his ouster weren't even born when the former military pilot first became president. 

He ruled Egypt from October 14, 1981 till February 11, 2011.
