ANTI-SISSI PROTEST IN EGYPT

"Sissi go away," chanted the demonstrators, "we will not leave, it is he who must leave". However, there were only a few hundred on the streets, opposition demonstrations being banned in Egypt since the military coup in 2013. There would have been a little more than 70 arrests.

It was at the call of an Egyptian businessman Mohamed Aly, in exile in Spain that they took to the streets, Cairo, and other cities of the country including Suez and Alexandria. This contractor in the construction sector has published several viral videos since early September calling for the overthrow of Sissi and military, which he accuses of corruption. Mohamed Aly, called Saturday for a "march of a million" of people for Friday, September 27.

The president has denied all these allegations: "These are lies and they are meant to break the will of the Egyptians and make them lose all hope and confidence in themselves". Abdel Fattah al-Sissi regularly prides himself on leading a safe and stable country, unlike other countries in the region, such as neighboring Libya. However, jihadists are active in some parts of the country, as in the Sinai Peninsula.

Egypt lives under a state of emergency. The regime leads a fierce crackdown on the opposition, imprisoning Islamists, activists or bloggers.
