    CORRECTION:
    At 0:42, we say "In January 2011, a month after anti-Gaddafi protests kicked off in Tunisia...". This is clearly a mistake: Gaddafi wasn't in power in Tunisia, and we meant to say 'anti-Ben Ali protests'. Apologies for this (embarrassingly) sloppy error; we hope it didn't detract from the rest of the video! Thanks

      Did you really end your segment by saying it's good to keep an eye on the next Egyptian Presidential elections? Egypt is a Authoritarian state, most democracy experts do not consider it having free and fair elections. You should be putting that in context not giving the impression to some elections are a good indicator of Egyptians democratic will.

    As an Egyptian, thank you for sharing awareness on this shit.
    Our problem in its core isn't economic but political. A military dictatorship that puts its friends in power instead of actually capable people, so the result is widespread corruption and failure.
    The military and their allies have most of the country's wealth with the left junk divided across citizens with added taxes to pay off the debt THEY put us in.
    So once the regime changes and a man honest to God gets in power, the situation will immediately improve upon dividing the wealth properly despite the current issues.

    The problem Egypt was facing since 1952 is the lack of political and economical practice, vision and strategy. War after war and all the decisions are only made by the military ruler in power. The ruler doesn’t allow real political parties to function, only puppets all around so by the time there is an election, although Egypt is a very populated country, you don’t find a single candidate worse your vote, not a single one with a real political or economical experience or background. You find yourself choosing between the same ruler, his son or relative, one of his failing government ministers, a military general or a religious fanatic who only promise you heaven in the afterlife.
    I guess this is somehow now happening in the USA with a democratic coverup.

      As a Egyptian I confirm , the problem with Egypt all started after the army removed the king and one general said okay let's back to our place and leave everything to the people , after that the army didn't accept and they removed him and they took over the whole country till now , what they do ? They can't do anything rly but build building as you can see today any Egyptian will come to tell you they doing good just ask him what they do he will show you building , you will see general every where like Governor or minister , you can't sadly find good one because they destroyed rly the schools all the money used for something not gonna help rly so ofc no money for school or hospital or anything that would actually help people and help the country so as you said you can't rly yep find someone good enough and if you found the army won't rly let him , they own everything here the media and everything if you said something against them they will call your terrorist and will put you to jail and won't see sun again sadly

    Hello folks, an egyptian here...
    What this guy said in his video is absolutely true.
    Me and maybe more than 40% of our population is under the poverty line, working our butts off for crazy amounts of hours per day, yet getting paid scrapes of money to survive financially till the next pay.
    Even with all our our money being spent on our living, our living circumstances are not that bearable either...power and water outages are frequent, and every thing is unexplanably over-valued and/or expensive; food, medicine, housing, education...no matter how much money you make you still won't be able to cover it all, even if you did, you won't have any left for yourself.
    The goverment is corrupt and only benefits a small group of people who only makes them richer and richer, while the rest of us are just left to rot like our lives don't even matter, and if we spoke up, we're either jailed or killed.
    Egypt is literally hell on earth and in my opinion, a coloniser would treat us much better than our own government.
    Every single day I'm questioning the purpose of living in this country, and I've thought about ending myself a lot to stop overthinking about what I should do to survive day by day.
    I'm just 24 but living on this land have turned me into a walking corpse, or a machine with no feelings who has to overwork itself so it can just...eat, nevermind the rest.
    I want to seek refuge elsewhere, I want to get the hell outta here, but I'm afraid I'll be dead before I get the chance, and I don't want to die now, not like this.

      To be honest, it may looks like it. But, as an Egyptian living in Egypt, it is not like that.
      From 2013 to 2019, we witnessed countless terrorists attacks on churchs, police stations, power grid, a children oncology hospital, assassination of high officials and officers, and even inviting ISIS to make a branch in Sinia, you name it. So, he had to do it especially when he took the responsibility of a country that was on the edge of a civil war and in economic crisis with a failing infrastructure.
      Things got better in 2019 and we were focused on rebuilding the economy and the infrastructure but then coronavirus came and also the war in Ukraine. Now, we have an economic crisis with better infrastructure, more secure stable country that attract investors. So, it is a progress.
      To be fair for him, he already stopped the Country Emergency status in 2021 and released many opposition figures in recent years.

      It’s always advertised as temporary, but leaders get used to no one saying no. Then get used to that and silence anyone who says no. They may mean well when they introduce these laws, but that soon changes when they turn into dictators. Not that sisi wasn’t a dictator from day one.
      Bottom line is the Egyptian army is too greedy and has their eyes on all the money in Egypt. And once money goes to army run companies, it never goes back into the government finances, because then it turns into national security and nothing is known about this money or where it goes (pockets of army top brass)

      In Elsisi's case, most Egyptians does't mind him continuing ruling as he is considered one of the best presidents that ruled Egypt ever.
      You may differ with Egyptians on that because of the biased reporting you just saw.
      But, for most of us, he did many things for the country I won't be able to mention them in a comment.
      Some lessons we did learn first hand ourselves when we elected an Islamist president for only one year before protesting against him.
      First, Democracy do not guarantee a good ruler in fact most of the time it won't, but this depends on many societal factors as more poor, less aged and less educated population like Egypt, such a population can be swayed easily by little things as money incentives. Democracy in this case may be more fatal as what happened to Lebanon, it produces a failed state.
      Second, a good dictator is better than a bad elected ruler.

    Another inaccurate information in this video is that UAE and China pulled out of the project. This is incorrect because the UAE never actually engaged to begin with and only showed interest to invest and later decided not to. As for China, the chinese company engaged investing through a ten year loan in the central business district. They built all the skyline there and are still in business.

    This is a total lie,

    El-Sisi asked Morsi to start early elections to save nations unity, and Morsi refused.
    The opposition didnt boycott presidential elections in 2014, only the Muslim brotherhood and other exterme islamists.
    But muslim brotherhood and their allies started terrorist attacks all over Egypt and especially Sinai, that requires 90 months of military operations for finally securing Sinai and defaeting IsIs and other terrorist movements in Sinai.

    The issue is simply the emphasis on "seeing Egypt as a democracy". None of the Egyptians I know wanted that neither anyone since the 2011 revolution. People mainly called for social justice and freedom. Suddenly the entire revolution was somehow rebranded by the media as a call for democracy. Having elections is cool and all, but Egypts structure will always keep the ruling centrilized. Add to that a shit ton of geopolitical issues, and you have a very crucial position that simple can't be changed every 4 years just because some guy is eloquent. People are desperate for change though, which is pretty normal as they feel that the administration has failed to fullfill many promises after all these years.

Or how in every sector they have created military companies that pay no taxes and have free labor to compete against the private businesses thus killing the market and providing shit quality. Or how they have been destroying world inheritance worthy sites with unbelievable historical value just to build new malls that work to their benefits. Or how they wiped out an entire area of unreformed housing and exiled the people living there just to build new construction projects that look like hell to gain more rent money. That is without mentioning how they have removed most of the 100s of really old trees to make the streets wider without any proper study other than benefit their construction companies. They also made the streets wider and reduced the speed limits to crippling speeds to get more speed tickets from the people. It's a shitty mess this country.

The country from 2011 to 2013 witnessed the weakness and expected collapse of the Egyptian state. We must take into account all these very important factors in evaluating the Egyptian economy, which has gone through difficult crises. Why don’t we talk about the important investment projects that are happening now? Why don’t we talk about the global crises that are harming Egypt? In a gigantic way, we must not talk about the infrastructure, which has been dilapidated for many decades, and it has been and is being resolved now in light of the crisis. Yes, Egypt is going through a crisis. Yes, Egypt is a country with many crises. Yes, Egypt may have poor planning, and all of this is not because of Sisi. There may be some blame, but it should be. To take into account the previous corrupt regime...but the solution is not as portrayed by the Western media, which did not taste defeat and brokenness and did not see how the Imam collapsed, and here I set an example with countries like (Syria, Iraq, Libya, etc.) Where are they now? Where are those oil-rich countries? The collapse of these countries due to dissatisfaction with the ruling regime.

    As an Egyptian i think that the biggest problem is the fact that alsisi is building the new capital to solely make it harder for protesters to gather and take him out of power and this uses alot of the country's resources

      It was not mentioned in the video but his predecessor was a part of a terrorist organisation and before his ousting there were 30 million Egyptians on the streets asking the military to oust him. So, Elsisi did not move from his own will on this the people asked him to.

      @@minamedhat9898Simply not true. The constitution was written by a committee formed by the parliament under the rule of the military counsel in 2012 and the parliament itself was dissolved shortly afterwards and before the presidential elections itself. Elsisi made changes to the constitution in Jan 2014. Check more details here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Egyptian_Constitution

    As Egyptian, it's normal to see over simplification in many parts, but the main errors (beside the Gaddafi/Tunisia which you mentioned in 1st comment) is that El Sisi was a brutal dictator from day 1, mass imprisonment, torture, killing, forced dissapearence were there from the start. Also Tushka project was a project of Mubarak in late 1990's (mostly non sense project as well) not El Sisi. Last but not least, there is a neglect of the various democratic movements in Egypt who started the revolution, the Muslim brotherhood joined later, the civil movements were oppressed by all regimes in Egypt (Mubarak, militaries, Muslim brotherhood, and especially ElSisi), but that's a topic for the political crisis in Egypt not tge Economic one... waiting for that video 😊
