Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has died at the age 91, state media reported on February 25.

Mubarak was a strongman president who led the Arab world's most populous country with an iron fist. He was deposed in 2011, and was the second Arab dictator to fall in a wave of popular protests that became known as the Arab Spring.
