How long has Hosni Mubarak been in power?

Since I haven't yet started to learn Arabic I can't provide any extra background on current protests in Egypt, the ones before in Tunisia, and others that are happening now and should continue to happen in the near future. I can, however, make a video reminding the viewer how long a period of time 1981 to 2011 is. Info on the music and images is just below. After finishing the video and looking at it it reminds me of my app a bit as well.
