Reflecting on Egypt’s longtime leader Hosni Mubarak

The World

The former president of Egypt died on Tuesday. He ruled for 30 years, but that ended ignominiously when he was forced out of office by a revolution in 2011. The Arab Spring brought Egyptians into the streets to oppose Mubarak’s autocratic methods. The World’s host Marco Werman discusses Mubarak’s legacy with Egyptian author Alaa Al-Aswany.
