Former Pakistan military dictator General Pervez Musharraf passed away in a Dubai hospital on 5 February after a prolonged illness. He was 79. Musharraf, who served as the Pakistan Army chief and later as the military dictator of the country – calling himself the Chief Executive of Pakistan and the President – is known as the architect of the 1999 Kargil War and for derailing fledgling Pak-India conflict resolution talks. At 79, battered and disgraced, he died in exile, hundreds of miles away from home.
