Don’t think the deposed Tunisian leader is that old, going on his appearance alone. It’s beginning to look most definitely these guys are “helped along”. Maybe potassium cocktails, like that black American Republican gal who was helping Hilary’s capaign. Always thought her death was so fishy.
Ben Ali is 74. Mubarak is 82. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is 86, I believe. Strokes at that age happen. I'm sure the stress contributes.
