'''Hosni Mubarak''' is the current president of [[Egypt]], and the fourth man to hold the office. He assumed office in October 1981 after the assassination of [[Anwar Sadat]] and has maintained the peace with [[Israel]] established under his predecessor.
Mubarak has been criticized for his persecution of the [[Coptic Church]], and for his government's twenty nine year state of emergency, which allows him to imprison and hold his political opponents indefinitely without trial and cancel elections. During the presidency of [[George Bush]], Secretary of State [[Condoleeza Rice]] called for the state of emergency to be lifted and and the Mubarak regime to commit itself to democracy.
Since [[Barack Obama]] has become president, the United States has been less willing to criticize Egypt's lack of democracy.
