First Shirvan of CaspianReport and now you? I know you guys have bills to pay, but there needs to be a system to get better sponsors.
lmao this has got to be one of the worst sponsors imaginable, basically peddling a way to polish SLOP videos that will FLOOD youtube. maybe people should start rethinking the people they watch
@@theconqueringram5295 Well the ad isn't an outright scam (like Established Titles, Kamikoto etc.) or basically useless (VPN ads etc) but I do agree AI slop is not good for the health of the internet and encouraging making more of it is not good but sadly it's the way of the world and most of even more premium content on RUclips is co-written by AI, like probably this video too and stuff like RealLifeLore.

Kind of crazy how Egypt went from the bread basket of the Roman Empire to the world’s largest grain importer. But going from a population of 5 million to 111 million with no additional arable land will do that I suppose.
Most of it was self-inflicted, beyond the population increase. Egypt's agricultural infrastructure is decrepit and very inefficient (irrigation systems are old and leaky). It is also geared towards cash crop production, like cotton and sugar. Both are very water intensive. Wheat production has made a comeback recently (wonder why) but is still held back by poor infrastructure.
Blame Nasser in part due to his construction of the Asawan dam, which tamed the Nile, but resulting less fresh soil coming down the Nile, making farmland much less productive.
Gotta love the replies trying to find a way around blaming overpopulation. Overpopulation is a hard truth that people desperately want to ignore or hand wave away, but we'll have to reckon with it some time. More population is a serious detriment beyond a certain point.
@@StuffandThings_ overpopulation definitely is an issue, what other problems are contributing to the awful situation as well.
@@StuffandThings_ Not trying to handwave away overpopulation. Egypt probably could actually decently feed its current population, and then some, with the right management and technology (desalination, proper infrastructure, using more efficient crops, etc.) but its corrupt and decadent elite actively kneecaps the country.

Honestly, Iraq should be an important lesson for Egypt because they too had one of their largest sources of water, the Euphrates, damed by the Turkish in the 80s and have had only trouble since with reported shortages of water and it takes no genius to say that this has contributed to the country's instability.
To be fair 90% of Iraqs instability was from 2003 and even before that.
The difference is that Iraq is powerless against Turkey, while Egypt can probably still trash Ethiopia, for now...

As a 15-year-old Egyptian , It’s completely true , The economy has been in a bad recession since a long time especially since 2019 , The main materials like food and water are very expensive and very low in the same time , Education and Health are in their worst state since Alsisi and his ministers got the power, He only cares about building and improving roads and cities where the ministers and politicians live in , You can’t guarantee your future or your career or even a married life here, As Egyptians we also don’t get electricity, Electricity is cut off for 3-6 hours daily from our houses , schools , hospitals and markets which leads to more deaths as some people die inside elevators and people in hospitals die because of disconnecting the medical devices by cutting off electricity , Any one who protests against Alsisi and his government is thrown in jail for years , The Egyptians are very unhappy about what happening , Man I’m crying right now while writing this , I hope Allah saves us from this
I remember muslim brotherhood and it seemed even worse back then.

@@skp8748hah what a delusion that is! The Egyptian military installed him so they wouldn't lose their cash cow. No need for the US to do anything, just threaten to not send any more money.
Exclusive power means that responsibility cannot be shirked, and mob politics is more extreme. The Germans shifted the blame for the war on the dictator.But no one fraudulently cheated on the 1933 election, no one violated the constitution of Weimar Germany. He was widely supported by Hindenburg, the business community, the general public. In the Arab world, the Saudi dictators are developing technology and economy for legitimacy, while the mountain people of Afghanistan are rapidly returning to their 500 year old way of life after losing their tough leader.
as an Egyptian I'm telling you, this government keeps making the most stupid decisions imaginable, day after day.

It’s ironic that Rome used to depend on Egypt for grain/feeding its population. Now it’s the absolute opposite with Egypt depending on important grain.
It's because Egypt nowadays focuses on plants that make more money than wheat, so that it can sell it at a high price, buy wheat, then take the profit

I visited Egypt back in the 80s. Was not impressed. Except of course with the ancient ruins.
nowadays it is, judging by trending internet reports, probably the worst country to visit among those one may be inclined to visit. just the world's rudest scammers and beggars everywhere, as well as little tyrant security officials all making up the rules as they go. absolutely no broader societal effort to treat tourists well to preserve the vital tourism industry.a

A great video as always, but what's was not said about Egypt's new capital is that it's not just a vanity project for Sisi, it's a way of maintaining power for himself, that being the megaproject is being used to pay off high ranking officers within the Egyptian military, The company overseeing the construction of the new capital is owned by the Egyptian military, which means the money is being used to bribe Senior ranking members of the military to remain loyal as well as pay them off for supporting his coup. Also by building a new capital, He's coup proofing his regime by removing The center of governance from Cairo itself, Making it much more difficult for the masses to seize control of government buildings during a revolution by placing distance between the ruled and the rulers, The avenues of the new capital are very wide, which makes it difficult to barricade them and makes moving troops much more easy, and finally The government is implementing a mass surveillance program within The new capital itself that will be on par with what we see in China. It's indeed a vanity project but also serves practical needs of the regime, despite how awful it is.
Can someone correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Egypt Romes main source of grain in ancient times and now it’s the worlds number one importer?
Yes. Times change.
industrializtion happened. rural subsistance farmers moved to the cities (which were founded on the best farming land) concrete over the best farm land so increased numbers can etch out a non-agricultural livlihood. same in every major city worldwide. Maaybe we should live in the desert & farm where the cities are
Yes
Successive governments have been making it hard for farmers to plant grain, with prices, regulations and so forth.
They invested in some projects to increase grain supply, but without expert opinion and to only to placate corrupt businessmen.
Egypt had only a few million inhabitats at the time, almost all were farmers, and the Roman empire had a population about the same as modern Egypt !?
Yup it's still the 12 large wheat producer but you can imagine a food pattern that so dependent on Egyptian bread , maybe a normal person would consume 4 to 6 unit of bread daily, I think as Egyptian I don't know countries that consume bread as a main food source like Egypt I think it's similar to how some Asian countries food have a lot of rice

Egyptian here, there is many things the video did either misunderstood, ignored intentionally, or was totally wrong about, such as following I'm stating below and lived through them as an Egyptian:
• Ancient Egypt is at least 7200 years old and not 6000, also, we live on 7% of the nile and not 4% as he stated, in addition to Egypt fertility is 15 for south, 2 for north which round up to 8 kids in average, not 5 as he stated above.
• Al-Sisi manipulate religion, he cause the unjust, chaos, and destruction then dare to say your prophet lived in tougher conditions, we are not even had the right to call ourselves believers, and twist verses interpretations to show us that what he do of evil is supported by Quran, by most Sheikhs, Al-Sisi is recognized as an infidel for all crimes he done against Islam, all muslims he is responsible for their death, and all the unjust and destruction he spread through the lands, in addition to be a Zionist and aiding Israel against Gaza and is responsible for all deaths as Netanyahu.
• Wheat prices doubled in psan of 3 days then tripled, it didn't just go to 60% as he stated, and Eish Baladi translate into Local Bread.
• Zahr Gas field issue wasn't mentioned by him at all, Egypt agreed on exporting Gas to Israel, in which they were in a contract that should've ended but Al-Sisi renewed it after destroying the entire Gas field, Egyptian Army ordered engineers there to exhaust Gas from there at the fastest rate possible, engineers said doing so will mix Gas with Water, causing the Gas Well to no longer be viable for usage, render it useless, Army threatened them under Al-Sisi orders, and engineers were either to face jail or obey, in which by doing as they warned, the gas well mixed with water and no longer usable.
• So to export the agreed upon share of Gas to Israel, Al-Sisi used the natural share of Egypt that is self-sufficent to support Israel in which he cuts electricity fromt he entirety of Egypt for 4 hrs a day to support that deal with Israel.
• Al-Sisi jailed Ahmed A-Tantawi after preventing him from practicing his rights of elections, jailing all people who went to elect him, kidnapped studens from all colleges of Egypt, kidnapped all governmental employees from their works and forced them to elect him, anyone refusing was accused for treason and jailed and/or excuted for not following such orders.
• New capital isn't build as an investment project, it's a military project in which to isolate the capital from downtown, preventing any revolutions from holding government hostage and is built as a military base to exterminate all citizens in case the poor thought of getting even remotely near it, also, the poor aren't allowed there or allowed to even work there which add to the fuel.
• The growth in population isn't real, Egyptian aren't able to get married, half of the population at least don't have the right to marry and can't even dream to afford it, people who give birth no longer want children, southern Egyptian that used to give birth to 15 are now sitting at up to 5 kids instead of 15, the raise in population is due to the immigration of Syrians and Sudanese, in which added around 15m total into Egyptian's population which government did willingly and blame us for.
• Lastly, FFS, Hosni Mubarak was doing projects in favor of "Egyptian Investors" to generate opportunities for Egyptians and doing projects that directly benifit Egyptian, Al-Sisi's goal is to eradicate all of the poor class of Egypt, and all projects are exclusively favoring to the rich elite class, it doesn't even affect the middle class of Egypt.

Yes, Egypt built a wall and many fortifications to prevent the exodus from Gaza towards Sinai...
because this is Israel's plan to steal the land of Gaza... and give the people of Gaza a choice between killing and exodus to Egypt... If the Palestinians were to flee to Sinai, they would have Hamas fighters with them... and they would continue their attacks from Egypt against Israel. Then Egypt will be involved in either a war against Israel or an attack on the Palestinians by Hamas fighters.
Finally, Egypt did not close the crossing for the duration of the war except when Israel occupied the Rafah crossing from the Palestinian side. If it had completed coordination with Israel while it was occupying the Palestinian side, this would have been an acknowledgment of its right to do so. .

The only solution is industrialisation to improve the productiveness of that huge population. Turn that population into an asset rather than a deficit.
Secondly, free up the arable land along the Nile to produce more food and invest heavily in food production technology and techniques.
There is no place to farm any more in Egypt, thats why the gov came up wit the new delta, for new arable land.. This video failed to mention that Egypt has surplus of food actually just not the wheat, Egypt exports expensive products such as fruits etc but it imports wheat because its cheaper..
@@ashiinsane90 But if they don't export expensive food then their budget deficit grows even larger right? It probably isn't an unmanageable situation but you'd need a good leader which el sisi isn't.
industrialisation is what caused this in the first place.
Industrialization isn't some kind of magic wand you wave at will to fix an economy. Egypt itself does not have an entrepreneurial class to commission mass production of any truly valuable goods, with the exception of the army who prefer invest into their Swiss bank accounts. And Western investors don't trust Arab countries to locate their capital there, and for good reason. Sure, Egypt-manufactured Adidas shoes would cost way less in both manufacturing and shipping to Europe, but who's gonna guarantee that Egyptian workers will work as efficiently as Chinese? Or that the factory will not burn to the ground at the next bread riot?
@@yarpen26 industrialisation is a necessary step for any nation that wants to become developed, it might be difficult at first as you correctly point out, but it’s something that has to happen.
You state that the current problem is lack of foreign investment in Industry, but there are risk taking states like China who are willing to spend billions, as they are already doing in the construction of the new capital, so it’s not as unrealistic as you make it.
Egypt might have occasional riots or tensions but it always finds a way to hold itself together and businesses, factories, industries have been operating safely in the country for decades.
Saudis, Emirates Kuwaitis, including the US will never allow Egypt to go down, its crucial for power balance and security. Just like Pakistan, money for no returns
One of the most intelligent comments. This is also why the Gulf states and the West supported Sisi’s coup, because Morsi was a threat to them and to Israel in particular.
@@alhashmy1310 explain a little more
@@bilalabdi9148There is a lot that needs to be said in order to explain to you what it means, but as a strict summary, all that matters is that Morsi was the president before Sisi, and he belonged to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is an extremist Islamic group that supported and supplied Hamas With Weapons For this reason, the countries that support Israel supported the military coup carried out by Sisi
For this reason, Western countries, the United Arab Emirates, or Saudi Arabia will not let Egypt fall, because if that happens, a president who hates Israel could be re-elected again.
@@bilalabdi9148Morsi was a threat to Egypt as he almost caused a civil war and Egypt would be divided into “wilayas” which was a term used to describe different areas occupied by Ottomans (Muslim extremists really liked that word) Egypt as we know it would have no longer existed, it was a really scary time.
Egypt is also the safe house and the leader of the Middle East, where as you can see, we have ten million Sudanese refugees, not counting the Syrian and Palestinian refugees as well. If Egypt falls, those refugees would have no where to go but Europe (which already has 12 million, as total, that number would double and Europe already struggles with the refugees it has) now think about this, a single country housing the same number of refugees as a whole continent, that same country is in the worst economic crisis in its history, instability and war on all its borders. Ethiopia building a dam which threatens the Nile. Egypt is a ticking bomb that will explode and ruin everything if this continues. It will explode if a revolution happens. So things must be fixed up fast. Those refugees are also causing a lot of instability and pressure, there was many accounts of Sudanese ruining supermarkets, ruining hospital equipment (he said he wasn’t being tended to, even though it was extremely crowded and many ppl were waiting just like him but he decided to play victim of racism) those people entered the country for free and are having the same benefits as an Egyptian and yet they’re causing so much instability and even putting up posters claiming that Terran and sanafeer are Sudanese islands. It is honestly sad and extremely dangerous what’s going on in Egypt. Muslims pressuring Egypt to help Gaza also doesn’t help, they’re putting all the blame and responsibility on Egypt, and yet talking abt Arabic and Muslim unity, is Egypt the only country there is to help? They say Gazans are Muslim like us why don’t you help them as if we’re not helping other Muslims too (ahem Sudanese) but i guess not cause they’re not attacked by Israel so it doesn’t count apparently.
Egypt so much potential but the mis management ruins it. It’s should be a rich nation given its God given assets. What is this 💩 show. Even Ethiopia doesn’t care and they ethically cleanse portions of their population every year
Lies
Gratuitous jab! Leave Ethiopia out of your comment. It is a blatant lie, irrelevant, and unnecessary. Ethiopia is the least of your problems.
hate to say it but a very disappointing choice in sponsor.. they will fill youtube with obviously ai generated slop garbage
I am Egyptian and I say that Egypt is in a state of growth and building many national projects, although it is under an economic and political siege. This video is false as it depicts that Sisi is the one who destroyed all this, although he took power and is in a much worse situation.
Exactly. Why can't people realize that??
That add of invideoAI is frightening! That is going to be the end of youtube.
Not the end of youtube, but the end for the people who work as editors and make their money with it.
@@2009heyhow Same deal. We are going to be inundated with poor videos from 10.000 of people and 100.000 bots. I'm being conservative here. Yeah, there's a lot of poor videos now but look next year or 2026 it will be a lot worse.
If that AI is going to be successfully that is; and I believe it will be. You can see how AI is wrecking havoc is the image-industry now.
I'm a retired programmer with a hobby of AI and robotics. I've read many books about it from the 90's and onwards and what I've seen so far frightens me.
I believe Neil Degrasse Tyson is right: AI will destroy internet. About two months ago I watched a youtube video of him saying that. He said that nobody in the near future will believe anything on the internet and instead go back to written records. That AI which will turn out videos will hasten it.
@@nanorider426 I do 100% agree with you. Game designer here. Artist, no programmer, but also here in my field i see more and more A.I. tools being developped. Such as terrain A.I. tools for example. A.I. can make complete worlds completely dressed with scenery now. I ablsolutely like doing that myself, but sooner or later companies are going to save costs on terrain artists. Sure they can continue working on other stuff, but we are still going to see a reduction of games that are created with love, passion and true craftsmanship. And players will notice this.
@@2009heyhow The way AI lowers the production costs hurts legitimate videos in favour of slob. Editors and presentation have been somewhat static costs that made it unprofitable to just spit out poorly thought out videos. People who just wanted to grift had to make react-content and similar, which could easily be avoided by the viewer. If the only real cost is research, then misinformation will be cheap enough to flood the market and drown the legitimate information.
@@2009heyhow Yeah, I feel your pain. I tired many AI tools to see if they were any good. Most of them were rubbish and only two or three were any good - if you were going to pay.
Wizard of the Coast (Dungeon & Dragons) fired nearly the entire graphics staff two days before Xmas last year. That's in part why Larian Studious scrapped Baldur's Gate 4.

good stuff with a few mistakes as usual with any Egypt econ content.
I want to point out that saying only 4% of the land is habitable is a bit of a stretch, most coastal areas in Egypt (which is a lot) are habitable not to mention other deserted places that could be renovated.
the only reason the government and investors are focusing their capital on the delta is because it's cheaper to concentrate everything
Great video! However, Hosni Mubarak was way wiser. The Egyptians tried to do a revolution to take a step forward only to find their revolution hijacked by the military and going few steps backwards!
I'm not sure the Prussia saying completely captures how intertwined the Egyptian military is with the economy as a whole.
This is a topic I'm specifically interested in; in the future, could you put links in the description to the sources you used, such as the article by Arfouly? Thank you!
Eat Leaves, like the prophet. I imagine Early modern Popes and Bishops during famines told the peasants 'Jesus fasted in the desert!'. Theocrats always the same: Leaves or nothing for you, feasts for me.
Unlike the western world, religious talk work well in the third world countries

Hmm, a few errors: the canal was built during ottoman- Egypt rule, not british rule. Rather, the canal initially bankrupted the country, leading to British rule.
Built during French time. Nice try
What French times 💀? It was built during the time of Khedive Ismail, the architect was just French + a prototype of the canal had already been there since the time of the Pharoahs. Also, France as a whole never colonized Egypt, Napoleon just controlled large parts of the Nile Delta. @@Hijrah-Made-Easy

Consequences of living beyond one's means... Egypt's de-population was long time coming.
It was a giant ponzi scheme created by Egypt's corrupt elite that used the entire country as collateral to fund their decadence.
This isnt the case.
That's not even the case! The fertility rate is already on the decline for 10 years, but the government is corrupt and allocates all resources for useless projects.
Egypt has made a new government now, by literally replacing ALL ministers with new ones. Hopefully the new ministers make a big change to this country by creating unique ideas and thinking outside the box. Instead of the old ministers who were literally making the stupidest decisions imaginable. Hopefully everything comes back to natural and for egypt to rise up high in the sky and defeat every obstacle in its way. LONG LIVE EGYPT

Nice coverage of the current situation in Egypt and a great video editing. I noticed a small mistake in your timeline of The Suez Canal:
(10:39) the digging of the Suez Canal took 10 years, between 1859 and 1869, while the British occupation of Egypt started in 1882. In fact, many believe that the British attacked Egypt to control The Suez Canal which was an important and short route to India

Don't ask whether it is good/bad, right/wrong, or decent/indecent. Ask only whether it is sustainable/unsustainable, and you will have your answer.
But it is sustainable... They have Germany just a short dinghy sail across the med away with all their benefits and social services. Why tf wouldnt they? You think they'll fight it out at home? 😂

In my opinion they should cut their losses and stop developing the new capital and actually start developing new sources of food (grains and wheat) as well as factories for export...
New Capital wont feed people shit and this is coming from an Egyptian too...
They are only building roads and water pipelines etc.
Good for Ethiopia for doing what it’s right for its people, Egypt can cry all they want. They don’t have exclusive rights to the economic development offered by the Nile.

Ironically, Egypt was the breadbasket of the Roman Empire. What a few thousand years can do to a place...
, Egypt must have a severe economic crisis: increasing inflation (to a peak of about 40 percent in September), a lira crisis and huge debts. About 60 percent of the Egyptian population lives below the poverty line and without the ability to take care of basic needs such as: food and living. Projects such as: "New Cairo", "Extension of the Suez Canal". In which Egypt and countries like "China" have invested billions of dollars, are not seen as economically profitable so far. In addition, Egypt is the largest importer of wheat in the world, and since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine and before, wheat prices have risen at 96 dollars per ton. Egypt receives loans from the World Bank in the amount of over 500 million dollars in order to purchase wheat and take care of the most basic needs that it needs to take care of its citizens.
wow...: "I'm poor and don't have any agriculture in my country : let me breed AS MANY kids as I possibly can even though they have no land to work on and will be a burden on my non-existent wealth."
Not surprised this didn't turn out well.
egypt uses the egyptian pound not the lira
I'm Egyptian. I love your channel. Well done
This is just showing the bad situation of Egypt, they selling their land of foreign countries which is forbidden in Islam, they need loans from loan for but wheat and basic products.

It’s not forbidden but definitely wrong logically.

So great to be living in said ticking time bomb where the president told us to eat leaves
You're parroting communist propaganda, he never said, "Egyptians should eat leaves" , he said, "Egyptians should be able to eat stuffed grape leaves every day, but it's just not possible, We just don't have the monetary resources", he said that in 2022, Stuffed grape leaves are considered a delicate dish in Egyptian society due to how expensive it is, a dish with 20 pieces can cost you 40 dollars or more, its usually stuffed with spices, herbs, rice and meats, of course marxist Egyptians twisted his words into, "Egyptians should eat leaves", as a way to draw in Egyptian voters who were struggling from the after-effects of Covid-19 and the economic fallout.

Egypt's been destroying other Arab countries since The 1950s. Thanks alot, Nasser(!)
The Nile river shouldn’t exist as an independent country, there is a reason why the Nile was a part of a larger country for the last 3000 years. Egypt just don’t have the resources or the land to be successful in the long term, they rely too much on food imports and on upstream countries not messing up the already scarce water supply.
Iraq the same.
