Egypt to bury ousted president mubarak with military honours
According to recent reports, Egypt has announced plans to bury ousted President Hosni Mubarak with full military honors. This decision comes after a meeting between the country's military rulers and Mubarak's family.
Mubarak, who ruled Egypt for nearly 30 years before being ousted in 2011, passed away on February 25, 2021, at the age of 91. His death has sparked a mix of reactions from Egyptians, with some expressing sadness and nostalgia for his rule, while others have criticized his authoritarian regime and human rights abuses.
The decision to bury Mubarak with military honors is seen as a gesture of respect for his service as a military officer and his role as President of Egypt. The burial ceremony is expected to take place in Cairo's Al-Rashdan Mosque, with a military procession and a 21-gun salute.
However, the decision has also sparked controversy, with some Egyptians calling for Mubarak to be buried in a simple grave, citing his human rights abuses and the suffering he inflicted on the Egyptian people during his rule.
What are your thoughts on this development? Do you think Mubarak's legacy is worthy of military honors, or do you believe he should be remembered differently?
