Hosni Mubarak (President of Egypt) — final televised address, 10 February 2011 (full text via Arabic Wikisource), during the 25 January revolution: "I never submitted to foreign pressure or dictates; I preserved peace; I worked for Egypt's security and stability"; rejecting "foreign dictates from abroad" and insisting Egyptians "take no one's instructions."

لم أخضع يوما لضغوط أجنبية أو إملاءات، حافظت على السلام، عملت من أجل أمن مصر واستقرارها، اجتهدت من أجل نهضتها، لم أسع يوما لسلطة أو شعبية زائفة.

سنثبت أننا لسنا أتباعا لأحد، ولا نأخذ تعليمات من أحد، وأن أحدا لا يصنع لنا قراراتنا سوى نبض الشارع ومطالب أبناء الوطن.

[Source is Arabic (Arabic Wikisource full-text transcript of the speech); confirmed verbatim against the fetched page.] English: — "I never submitted to foreign pressure or dictates; I preserved peace; I worked for Egypt's security and stability; I strove for its renaissance; I never sought power or false popularity." — "We will prove that we are no one's followers, that we take no one's instructions, and that no one makes our decisions for us except the pulse of the street and the demands of the nation's sons." CONTEXT: Declared positions of Hosni Mubarak — President of Egypt 1981–2011 — from his final televised address on 10 February 2011 (the night before he was forced from power), delivered amid the 25 January revolution as he delegated presidential powers to VP Omar Suleiman. The speech crystallizes "Mubarak-ism," the Arab authoritarian-stability order: STABILITY and SECURITY as the paramount goods; preservation of PEACE (continuity of the Camp David treaty with Israel); a claim of national sovereignty / refusal of "foreign dictates"; a "gradual, orderly transition" (he would not run again but would stay "to protect the constitution" until September elections); and an implicit framing of the alternative as chaos. This is the secular-authoritarian, pro-Western-but-sovereigntist, status-quo pole — the regime type the 2011 uprisings rose against, and a forerunner of the el-Sisi order documented elsewhere. [Axes: regime-stance (authoritarian stability; controlled top-down transition; emergency-law security state), palestinian-question / west-alignment (Camp David peace continuity; aligned with the US yet rhetorically anti-"foreign-dictate"), democracy (managed / gradualist — against the revolutionary demand for immediate change).]
