I liken #Mubarak’s death to the death of a long-time abuser. You don’t mourn the abuser, you mourn for yourself and the massive chunk of your life the abuser occupied. More of my thoughts on Mubarak - who called me the “troublemaker from Reuters”
It’s made worse when allies of that dictator/abuser claim he was the “strong-armed” and “iron-fisted” ruler his people wanted. FIVE US presidents - Republicans and Democrats - propped up #Mubarak
Because #Mubarak was a great ally of US administrations and the EU, #Egypt is often considered “dictator lite.” He and his family stole $billions from us #Egyptians. His regime used systematic torture to silence and terrify. Remember Khaled Said and others
