Sissi's 'Jewish Mom': Rare Egypt Protests Chip at Leader's Iron Hold on Power
It seems unlikely Egypt will witness demonstrations like those of January 2011 anytime soon. But conditions are becoming more and more like at the end of Mubarak's reign
“Aren’t you afraid for your army? Are you not worried about how shocked the junior officers will be when people say their commanders are not good people? Don’t you know the army? The army is a closed institution, it is very, very, very sensitive to any inappropriate conduct, especially in relation to the commanders.” With these words, Egyptian President Abdel-Fatah al-Sissi rebuked (in Egyptian spoken Arabic) all those who took part in the rowdy protests last weekend.
