Muhammad Hosni Mubarak, (Template:Lang-ar; transliterated: Muhammad Husnī Mubārak; commonly known as Hosni Mubarak; Template:Lang-ar; transliterated: Husnī Mubārak), (born 4 May 1928) has been the president of Egypt since 14 October 1981.
Mubarak was appointed vice-president of the Republic of Egypt after moving up the ranks of the Egyptian Air Force. He ascended to the presidency, succeeding President Anwar Al Sadat, following Sadat's assassination on 6 October 1981. Mubarak promised during the presidential elections in 1993, that that would be his last term as president, but eventually he changed his mind. With the elections in 1999, a growing force of intellectual voted against him, as a protest against the outcome of his politics, with significant unemployment and corruption and closer ties with Israel. Mubarak is usually considered as an ally to the United States and Israel.
Early life and the Egyptian Air Force
Mubarak was born in Kafr-El-Meselha , Al Monufiyah Governorate, Egypt. Upon completion of high school, he joined the Egyptian Military Academy, where he received a Bachelor's Degree in Military Sciences in 1949. In 1950, he joined the Air Force Academy, eventually earning a Bachelor's Degree in Aviation Sciences, and was assigned to the bombers squadrons. Part of his pilot's training he received at the Soviet pilot training school in Frunze (now Bishkek), in Soviet Kyrgyzstan. He then moved up the chain of command, holding the positions of pilot, instructor, squadron leader and base commander. In 1964, he was appointed head of the Egyptian Military Delegation to the USSR.
In the years between 1967 and 1972, during the War of Attrition between Egypt and Israel, Mubarak was appointed Director of the Air Force Academy and Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Air Force. In 1972, he became Commander of the Air Force and deputy minister of war. In October 1973, following the October War, Mubarak was promoted to the rank of Air Chief Marshal. In April 1975, he was appointed Vice-President of Egypt and, in 1978, he was selected as Vice-Chairman of the National Democratic Party (NDP).
