Caira broke out large-scale anti-government protests against the current President of Egypt Abdel Fattach As-Sisi. The causes of dissatisfaction were the deterioration of the economic situation, the suppression of civil freedoms and corruption in the government.
Protesters who gathered in the streets of the capital are chanting the popular slogan of the "Arab Spring"-"Ash-Shab Juid Iskat An-Nisam" ("People wants to overthrow the regime"). Outrage also caused the President's decision to build a new administrative capital and the Presidential Palace, the cost of which is estimated at $ 45 billion.
Abdel Fatti As-Sisi, who came to power after the removal of Muhammad Mursi in 2013, was re-elected in 2018. However, his reign is accompanied by criticism by strengthening authoritarianism and economic difficulties that deepen the gap between the authorities and society.
