Credit: Reuters/Youssef Boudlal By Miral Fahmy CAIRO | Mon Apr 18, 2011 12:59pm EDT CAIRO (Reuters) - An authoritarian leader is forced to resign after protests against his corruption-tainted rule. He is charged with graft and murder, but ill health stalls his interrogation. He dies before he is put on trial. The fate of Indonesia's President Suharto, who died 10 years after mass demonstrations swept him from power in 1998, could be a scenario the generals now ruling Egypt are considering for deposed President Hosni Mubarak, 82 and ailing, who still wields considerable clout within the army. Yet significant delays in putting Mubarak on trial risk a return of the mass demonstrations and chaos that swept him from power on February 11 and hammered Egypt's economy, analysts say. The protests have largely died down, but normality has yet to return to a country central to stability in the Middle East. "The military council has made it very clear from the very beginning that they would like Mubarak to be able to retire with dignity, and this could go on for a long time, like Suharto," said Elijah Zarwan, senior analyst at the Egypt office of the International Crisis Group, a policy advocacy organization. "They're caught between their desire to maintain stability and their sense of duty to a respected commander-in-chief. The military are very reluctant to put him on trial, and this could go on for a very long time," he said. The similarities between Mubarak and Suharto, who died aged 86, are striking. Both hailed from the military, governed with an iron-fist for 30 years, oversaw free-market reforms that triggered an economic boom for some and then were tossed from power by a disenfranchised population weary of authoritarian rule. Like Mubarak, Suharto was charged with corruption. But ill health, and his enduring appeal to many Indonesians, ensured he never stood trial. He died in 2008. UNSPECIFIED ILLNESS Bringing Mubarak to justice was one of the key demands of the pro-democracy protesters who deposed him. He was ordered detained for questioning last week by the interim military rulers, a step seen as appeasing demonstrators who may suspect they were shielding Mubarak from punishment. But an unspecified illness -- state television said it was a heart crisis but medical sources now say he is in good health -- has stopped him returning to Cairo for questioning. The former president remains in a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, a town he frequented during his presidency and to which he fled after his resignation. Security sources say there are no plans so far to move him to a military hospital in the capital, despite an order by the prosecutor to do so, partly because Mubarak himself is refusing to be transferred. Mubarak was an air force commander during Egypt's 1973 war against Israel and is seen by many in the military as a war hero who must be accorded respect. 1 2 Next World Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
