Miguel Sanchez Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Week 5 update One death today, former president of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf: Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf dies after long illness | Pakistan | The Guardian Quote Pervez Musharraf, the former army general and president of Pakistan who ruled for almost a decade after seizing power in a coup in 1999, has died in Dubai after a long illness. The Pakistani military confirmed his death in a statement, expressing “heartfelt condolences on the sad demise of Gen Pervez Musharraf, former president, CJCSC and chief of army staff”. Musharraf, 79, was one of Pakistan’s most divisive leaders. His rule was marked by oppression, human rights abuses and a weakening of democracy, but also a period of economic growth. In 2019, a court found Musharraf guilty of high treason for his actions as president, including suspending the constitution in 2007. He was sentenced to death by a special court but that was later overturned. Al Jazeera has a slightly longer profile if you feel like learning more: Pervez Musharraf: The Pakistani ex-president’s chequered legacy | Obituaries News | Al Jazeera Musharraf died at 79 so he's worth 46 Base Points for @peasy23 - and lesson for everyone that perseverance pays off.
