Hosni Mubarak (1928-) is the President of Egypt, the former Vice-President who assumed office on 14 October 1981, following the assasination of President Anwar Sadat. He had previously been an officer in the Egyptian Air Force, gaining status for the much improved performance in the 1973 Arab-Israeli War.

He is authoritarian, but has kept fairly tight control over extremist groups, and has upheld the 1979 peace agreement with Israel.

There have been reports he is in poor health, and has no clear successor. [1]
