Stories from Mubarak’s final years

Former Manpower Minister Aisha Abdel Hady recounted that she had warned Hosni Mubarak of rising tensions. She said she had informed officials of what she was observing, particularly during the workers’ strikes of 2006 and 2007, whose demands she described as genuine. But she later felt that, from 2008 onward, the movements had changed and that “foreign agendas” had become involved. She revealed that Mubarak had expressed fear for his son Gamal, and said she refused to keep information from the late president after his grandson died, telling them: “Let’s upset him now rather than have us all grieve later.” She described his trials as “an injustice, a fabrication, and a betrayal,” and said she continued to stay in touch with him and his family and visit him, and still visits his grave.
