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.
@@dod608 Correction for you: they were prominent much sooner than this. They cooperated with the british occupiers in secret while holding some protests against them in public. And, they had a secret division that specialized in assassinating Egyptian officials.
When I visited Egypt with my BF a year ago , the dollar was costing around 15 or 14 EGP and when I visited it again , I saw it is doubled , god bless all Egyptians , love from Netherlands 🇳🇱 to you all people
thanks you so much we for your love we litterally have no human rights here only forgieners have rights to do anything just so they can hide the stuff they are doing this country is evil please do not visit it again we dont want you to support this government they are absolute shitheads
@@mostafaahmed610يعني ايه هسلمك للشرطه؟؟ 🤨 Hes saying ill send you to the cops idk what blud is on about ☠️ anyways im also egyptian and i really hope we get better at economics.
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.
Very true. For example, the head of the new Grand Egyptian Museum is a general. The head of everything is a general. All the banks report that their top clients are new, and that they're all army generals. Very sad
As an Egyptian, I totally agree. And don't foreget about Freedom of the press that is below zero, which led to anyone could do anything without being exposed by the press and hence they won't be questioned by the authorities
The logic is flawless: as the ruler, when the economy goes down the drain, it doesn't hurt to have a couple dozen miles of desert between your palace and the angry mob.
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.
I am Egyptian, this guy is so wrong about so many things... It is more complicated than how he narrowed the hell out of it... I voting for the same president next year... Almost every human I know and ask will do the same to... We are not some dumb dumbs who are brain washed blindly... You have to respect our minds...
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
i don't even know. i have faith that either he will see what his decisions are doing to us and change. if he doesn't, i hope he has the dignity to leave and let someone else do the job properly.
Egyptian government is very good with propaganda. I have seen a lot of sponsored post on Twitter promoting Egyptian debt fueled projects that majority of Egyptian can’t afford. If you try to call them out, you get attacked and insulted online. New Bloomberg debt vulnerability report ranked Egypt the second most likely country to default after Ukraine. This is a disaster for the Egyptian people.
The opposite actually, Egyptian media is terrible with propaganda, it's actually funny sometimes. They hire clowns for their government media. And you properly mistaken an ad so they can sell properties or attract tourism by government propaganda!! Another thing you don't have to make every place affordable for average Egyptian. And they build them to make money of them and sell them to rich people to make profit.. Even selling them to foreigners to export properties. Egypt would be dump if every housing project is for average Egyptian... They need to build for rich, foreigners, poor, middle class... Etc
Yea it's a great country with insane deep culture and history I don't know how anyone could help since we don't know what's going on exactly but the sentiment is very much appreciated and maybe we could get out of it
It's been a rough year with losses from failed banks and government, real estate crashes, a struggling economy, and downturns in stocks and dividends. It feels like everything has been going wrong. What a terrible year it is…
A financial professional you work with could really prepare you for life. I'm glad I was able to get in touch with my coach Samuel Peter Descovich earlier this year because I was actively cashing out from my portfolio and finally earned over 370k just in the first quarter while everyone else was complaining about the downturn.Samuel Peter Descovich helped pay down our debt and save up for retirement.
That is why I work with Samuel Peter Descovich, who introduced me to a better Financial community, a verified agency where I learned how money works and how to create it, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made.
Thank you so much for the advice. Your coach was simple to discover online. I did my research on him before I scheduled our phone call. he appears knowledgeable based on his online resume.
Samuel Peter Descovich is the go-to financial advisor during market turmoil. With his expertise, I made over $220K, revealing hidden market opportunities. Having an investment counselor is crucial, especially for those nearing retirement.
There is a huge difference though: Argentina is a resource rich country that can feed its population many times over (it needs only 5% of its fertile land for that purpose) so when the crisis hit, over and over again, the country keeps going with its own inertia.
Especially seeing as the Nile is drying up, Egypt has a very tough future ahead of it if it doesn't get it's sh- together and start working towards solutions.
@@mrboobiesrider9212it’s definitely resource poor. At least for the amount of population it has right now. It cannot possibly feed itself without imports
Egypt has fed its huge population for decades and always came through in the worst of times. The main problem is from the top and behind closed doors... The issue isn't in importing stuff, it goes way deeper than that coming from an Egyptian citizen speaking. The Nile drying up? Let's not talk about that and how's it's all curated decades ago...........
Please note you made a minor, but very noticeable, mistake at 0:42. Anti-Gaddafi protests didn't reality begin in Libya (not Tunisia!) until February the 17th. Instead you probably meant to refer to the pro-democracy protests in Tunisia against Zine El Abidine that kicked off the "Arab Spring".
Egypt is literally Argentina of the desert and the worst part is it’s also situated in the most troubled region. It’s literally unfortunate for Egyptians that their 2011 revolution has now come into a crashing end as they have installed a new dictatorship.
@@michaelbread5906 The Egyptian army installed both. The reaction of most Egyptians to proposed constitutional changes by the Muslim Brotherhood means the Muslim Brotherhood weren't really democratic, just elected. Democracy is a system which goes beyond just voting.

not focusing on economic growth alone was a mistake the ONLY good thing el sis did was the infrastructure and thats it if u think anything else he did was worth the decrease of the egp ur dillusional plain and simple@@thunderxr2736
As an Egyptian this is exactly what's happening, my family is lower class and we can't even afford chicken or meat or eggs or sugar or oil or ghe or rice, take this from me if you have less or no money you have no place in Egypt. I can't even go to a good university because of how expensive it is, I am an extremely smart student I could be called a "valedictorian" in American terms but this will go to waste, I'll probably just end up being a miserable housewife because how bad this is becoming. While we are suffering el Sisi is building a new city for the rich that will only benefit him (and the rich ofc) please raise awareness on this matter, if Sisi continues we are doomed (no literally doomed, he said he can destroy all of Egypt with just 2 trillion Egyptian pounds, some dr^gs and cigarettes)
egypt has become a country where only the rich can actually have a good experience of living. all other areas are falling apart, everything's price is rapidly increasing, there doesn't seem to be any hope and there definitely won't be another "revolution". also, i think all the expensive new compounds being built are fake, they don't show what egypt really is, and it's just a trick to tourists and foreigners. and also, lots of egyptian movie directors make egypt look nice when it's really just a dump i mean i know it's art but it's also a lie, we're living a lie and can't speak our minds or else we'll become prisoners we're all being brainwashed
and this is exactly why our country will keep getting worse. a brilliant student like you should have dozens of opportunities and scholarships that support you without you having to pay any money. our country doesn`t even offer the chances of a student's loan, like the UK for example. a country without good education and extreme poverty is a country gone to waste. I'm really really sorry u were born in this terrible era but don't give up and if u have a good academic grades, you can apply for fully funded scholarships outside Egypt. that's the best you can do.
If you are still in school and you have internet access try your best to find scholarships outside of egypt. There are amazing opportunities with no money so please search about that online and try to get a scholarship outside
Look to study elsewhere.. apply for scholarships so it can be paid for. There are options and you have to want it.. Hope you get into a university and become something! :)
As I wish people in other places learn - mismanagement shouldn't be the reason for getting rid of a political leader. Even a good manager needs to be replaced every few years, because a long reign is the no. 1 corrupting influence.
Mate I have to say to a couple of things here in Egypt they crackdown hard on any dissent be it political or just commenting about the inflation or if they want to jail they just frame you with anything and they are attempting to wipe out the ikwan group which is not a terrorist organisation
As an egyptian as well , Iam sorry to say this but there's zero hope for this country it's absolutely destroyed and annihilated with no way or shape of going back.
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.

3:52 Has anyone else noticed a pattern that when a president says things like "we need to temporarily suspend democracy and give the president temporary emergency powers" it's never temporary and the president ends up becoming a dictator?
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)
@@kmarei Saying "always advertised as temporary" is very weird as no ruler really rule forever because of death. 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.
" most Egyptians don't mind him continuing ruling as he is considered one of the best presidents that ruled Egypt ever. " who the fuck are you to talk about most Egyptians, stop saying shit from your own fucking prespective and projecting it on " most Egyptions"@@yousam3821
@@AnotherComment-rl6fv Lol, comparing economic collapses like those in Egypt, Ethiopia and Argentina to bumps on the road like the UK is probably the best joke I've heard in a while.
El sisi is a military dictator and many times worse than mubarak, who at least listened to people when he was wrong on economic matters. He gave the entire economy to the military, completely dismantling the private sector. In many of hes speeches You can hear him say. He wants the military. To have at least 50 percent of the economy. Which is pretty insane. Egypt is essentially run by a military Mafia. If you are a young Egyptian, you can't open a business that competes with the military. They will do whatever. To drive you out. Even imprison you.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are half a dozen at least of Athletes Who has run away from Egypt. To represent other countries like Britain. Why? Because the military Mafia takes away all their winnings. Which left them living in debt
And don't get me started. On how He ruined Tourism And, Our airports ,ports And public services. All these fields are now corruption swamp. Everyone needs a bribe. To make it short. Instead of appointing Capable people in positions He has given all top positions to generals and foot soldiers. With no experience. Or educational background on the field. Honestly. Is less like Putin and more like Kim Jong un
As I see it: egipt has a lot of international influence due to suez canal and also needs it's military due to geographical location, so change must come within to make the military allow civil rule. This isn't happening and it has consequences not only for egipt but the region aswell.
Not defending sisi or anything, but he didn't say he want the military to have half of the economy... He was actually answering a quest about how the size of the military economy.. He said it's just 2% of the economy.. And he was defending it by saying it would impressive if the military have half the economy... Referring that 100 thousand people can't run half the Egyptian economy!!
lol you are comparing egypt to england, how hilarious.. the largest salary here in egypt is 50 dollars monthly or less in private sector, 100 dollars monthly or less for who work in governmental jobs.. could you please tell me how many dollars english guys take monthly?! @@Anastasis-is-here
@@Anastasis-is-here True, but its different for Egyptians as all the commodities are being sold in their international dollar prices, while the working citizens are getting paid in Egyptian pounds. So for example: if your salary is 4000 british pounds a month, its not life threatening when price of 1kg of meat goes from 30 to 50 pounds. For Egyptians however, their salaries are 5000-6000 a month ( Egyptian pounds) and price of 1kg of meat is 400 pounds +. So imagine paying 400 british pounds for a single 1kg of meat. Its a joke.

As an Egyptian living in France, I’m happy on the accuracy of the summary you did on the Egyptian’s regime. Far from the French media’s narrative. Thank you for your good work 🙏🏻
@@myname2938 They reduce the narrative to « Morsi was legally elected and then Morsi made a coup and installed his dictatorship » without specifying any details on why and how these things happened nor what happened since.
the regime does not matter anymore , everybody is pretty much in the same condition we are reaching the limits of growth prediction around 2030-35 half of the world countries would have collapsed entirely their economies with the rest following later there is no alternative in the middle left other than economic collapse in 2030 the world will reach horrendous levels of resource consumption prices will absolutely explode to levels that make today inflation a buy 2 get 1 free offer
Across the Channel, the news and TLDR pretty much have the same summary, the difference is the news has little interest expect they didn't like the Muslim Brotherhood. Could the French media’s narrative be down to the sale of warships and fighters to Egypt have anything to do with that? I'm not in France so I could be very wrong.
As an Egyptian, I feel like we are about to reach an inevitable end and go bankrupt like Lebanon. Life used to be easy-going, things used to be cheap but everything is too expensive so it's difficult to enjoy my life these days. I wonder if the prices will decrease one day so we can relieve.
There seems to be a new economic crisis video on this channel every week. If economic crises are so common in the 2020s around the globe, could we not inquire as to what global factors are contributing to these problems?
This is my humble understanding: -All countries use U$D -USA printed more money during pandemic and gave free money to its citizens during pandemic and almost every country did the same (without increasing interest rate it was almost ZERO) -inflation happens -everything gets expensive and everything is in U$D -all other currencies are becoming weak again the dollar and the dollar was inflated -countries cant afford to import goods in U$D and can’t repay international debt which are in U$D -countries go broke
Not sure if related to this but this summer, for the first time ever, I have started to see products imported form Egypt. Mainly potatoes and other groceries that rarely come from outside the EU
Before someone else says it, yes they do clarify it later in the video. But that's like saying at the beginning of a Ukraine video that Crimea joined Russia in 2014 which is technically correct but paints the wrong picture.
Neither side was truly democratic, the Islamic Brotherhood didn't care about that, nor did the Egyptian military which was behind the scenes the whole time. It is even possible that Morsi only got into power due to the military and when he was no longer useful they orchestrated his fall.
in 2013 Adly Mansor who was the supreme court chief got appointed as interm president not Sisi himself, but he was the defacto leader before getting officially elected in 2014...just saying also Toshka was Mubarak's mess
It’s strange that Toshka was chosen as an example of a failing mega project. That was Mubaraks project more or less abandoned over 20 years ago. The Suez Canal was an early one of Sisi but more relevant would have been the New Administrative Capital being built and the longest monorail in the world (mostly in the Cairo desert)
thats the only thing that was strange to you? the adminstrative capital didnt cst the state a penny but was funded by selling the land to private investors, so him claiming that is questionable is what is questionable and tells u his agenda clearly. the second suez canal was well worth it considering the record high returns now of almost $1b per month.

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. Please correct your information.
as an egyptian, sisi isn’t convincing us with anything he’s just a ruthless dictator that has no problem putting the whole nation in jail if they opposed his policies
This is a total lie, El-Sisi didnt make a coup, 30 million Egyptians - i was one of them - was protesting against Muslim brotherhood asking Mohamed Morsi to resign. 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.

As an Egyptian, I would like to correct some of what you said. Morsi was not an extremist or anything like that, but Egypt grew during the year he ruled, and he was also working to liberate Syria and Palestine, but the Zionists put Sisi in order to secure Israel for them.

When you as tourist enter egypt you cant take picture or recorded a video in cities roads,buildings. The egypt police will caught you and confiscate your camera or handphone. You or egypt people cannot simply complaint about egypt politics, laws, rules.
My gut feeling tells me God will save Egypt, it might be very difficult for some time but ultimately Egypt will prevail and it's simply because Egypt is made up of 100 million+ good people !!! Long live Egypt !!
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.
Yea Europes structure used be authoritarian as well. Also yes it was a call for democracy lol. I’m arab I understood the languages people wanted the right to vote at the ballot box.
Egypt with it's Suez Canal, the Huge Nile dam, large gaz discoveries, has access to massive financing that get paid by it's high population growth and the large egyptian community present internationally. A slight political change and getting the army hand off business can make Egypt on track again very quickly.
He didn't TURN into an Autocrat he literally began and established his rule with Massacres in the streets of Egypt more than one thousand deaths in the biggest one called "Rabaa massacre" look it up.
I Love how You Just Glossed over the fact that Sisi had engineered most of the "Political turmoil" during Mursi's presidency and that After he deposed Mursi in a Military Coup he committed the Largest Massacre of civilian protestors in Egypt's history leaving over 2000 people dead and Jailing more than 50,000 people. But sure .. He's a "Moderate" as the West loves to think about that part of the world.
The Arab Spring was driven by a tripling of grain prices. Grain prices are up again. And due to poor foreign policy, the Nile failed last year and will again this year. Government policies are directly leading to famine. A famine that will enrich the powerful at the expense of the poor. This will drive unrest much higher. It is not monetary policy driving the problem. It's a lack of food.
With an ever growing population (over 100 million now?), things aren't looking good. No one ever asks the question about how to feed all those new people. Same thing all over the world.
@@erbalumkan369 We don't have to ask. It's not a difficult problem. The reason it's a problem this year is a move by the global elite to limit farm production to save us from "global warming".
@fatality153 didn't include Turkey because it isn't a military dictatorship like Egypt or Pakistan, just a very autocratic leader who destroyed the country's economy with stupid economic policies.
As an Egyptian. I say this video is accurate. But it is not even half of what is going on internally. They didn't say anything about how the military has created their own contracting firms and engineering consultancy firms to siphon the funded money into the military general's accounts. 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.
An Egyptian collapse is a tragedy, especially considering the sheer number of people living there. 110 million people in a defaulted state is a disaster in the making.
IDK, default is not the worst thing. Think of default as a national bankruptcy. Debts are settled (for pennies on the dollar), and no new loans will happen. The government gets forced to balance its budget.
it's gotten so bad to the point so much families are struggling to survive because prices at local shops are literally sky rocketing, I used to buy 10 eggs for around 1 pound each, a few years back too, one egg was around 0.25 to 0.5 pounds, but now an egg costs 5 pounds (reffering to egyptian pounds) meaning 10 eggs would cost 50 pounds, and compared to the size of these eggs you'd need about 100 pounds worth of eggs weekly, an estimate of 400 egyptian pounds worth of eggs a month, on just eggs. 400 pounds used to be enough to feed my family for a whole month, and it's not likely that this situation will get resloved any time soon it's deemed to get worse
It’s a well known fact that si. si is an israeli agent that led egypt in only 10 years to the worst economical, allowed corruption to flourish, and, through his cooperation with Israel, contributed to the perpetuation of Israel’s control over Palestinian territories. While making Egyptians in their worst times Weakening Regional Resistance to Israel:** Many believe that Sisi's close ties with Israel and his cooperation on security matters in Sinai have weakened regional opposition to Israel's policies, particularly regarding Palestinian statehood and the continued expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Anyone who continued to watch his actions through the years would know that his only reason to stay is to destroy Egypt in all ways.
All countries are exposed to crises, and a country like Egypt has an economy that was growing under a lasting war on terrorism from 2014 to 2022, costing millions of dollars and lives, and its fierce war with the fragile and weak economy, which was in a hiatus that lasted for a period of no less than 30 years, other than what happened in... 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. They always portray that the solution is in democracy, revolution, or discontent with the ruling regime. Please, please, this is not the solution. Do not let us give examples of the European countries that did not implement democracy well until the situation stabilized.
No country is democratic when it becomes a developed economy. Europe and even wartime economic systems, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea were all military dictatorships for a period of time. The Western "democratic success theory" is just complete nonsense. They only slowly turned into a democratic system after success.
There is a severe error in this report. The 2012 constitution made the Muslim Brotherhood passed a referendum with over 60 percent. It is not a fundemental constitution. In fact, the 2014 constitution barely alters it except to sheild the minister of defence from arbitrary change by the President. It is important to note the ruling party formed by the Muslim Brotherhood was a technocratic party that included experts who were either muslim or christian. Stating that the Muslim Brotherhood is a fundamentalist movement is false.
Egypt as a monarchy was way better. What happened in 1952 was a tremendous mistake that Egypt pays for until this very day I will apply for DV2025 and try to immigrate to the United States and leave Egypt because this country has no future.
You are promotimg false information I am afraid. The new administrative capital did not cost the national treasury a penny. Study and research the business model they used. As a matter of fact, The Administrative Capital for Urban Development Company announced that it has achieved a growth in total profits by 23%, bringing the company’s total profits to 19.8 billion pounds before deducting taxes, during the year 2022. With this number, profits constitute approximately 100% of the company’s issued capital.
Also the corruption of the Egyptian army is one of the main reason of Egypt failure ... Egyptian army has it is own hidden economy that now one can ask about however the parliament
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
Sisi is a dictator He ruled Egypt for ten years, and the result? There is no action, no development, the currency is in collapse. Half of the Egyptian people flee to Europe by boat illegally.😂
We're not collapsing.. We're rising.. But sometimes.. You can't see gold in great fire.. You can't see light into smoke and darkness.. But very soon you will.
Damn… its soo devastating for me an Egyptian watching that, its all going downhill and wont get better sooner, no wonder why young people just leave the country on the first opportunity they have
This channel adores the word Collapse. The collapse is in the minds of the producers. A collapse is final, but none of the gloom and doom the channel projects ever comes true.
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
You are one of those, either ignorant who is posting comments randomly on Social media, or a person who is experiencing memory issues, or a liar. The terrorist Muslim Brotherhood group wrote a constitution during one of the sad nights of 2012. Their constitution was suspended and cancelled after June 2013 revolution and the overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood
As an Egyptian-American I enjoyed your video as every bit in it is true. I used to support Elsisi at the beginning of his presidency, but now I regret it. The political situation in Egypt has became unbearable and many in Egypt like me are looking forward for the 2024 elections the need for a new change.
Here is one of them, those who thought the army will remove an elected president and then give it back to the people , so they can try again. Good luck
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 😊
Are Muslims brotherhood a very conservative islamic organisation/party? If you support this party then why do you live in modern and western countries? Why don't you go there and fight for your Allah?
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.

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.

Dictators don't care much about reality.
The logic is flawless: as the ruler, when the economy goes down the drain, it doesn't hurt to have a couple dozen miles of desert between your palace and the angry mob.
Chinese are doing it.
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.

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

A financial professional you work with could really prepare you for life. I'm glad I was able to get in touch with my coach Samuel Peter Descovich earlier this year because I was actively cashing out from my portfolio and finally earned over 370k just in the first quarter while everyone else was complaining about the downturn.Samuel Peter Descovich helped pay down our debt and save up for retirement.
That is why I work with Samuel Peter Descovich, who introduced me to a better Financial community, a verified agency where I learned how money works and how to create it, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures.
You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made.
Thank you so much for the advice. Your coach was simple to discover online. I did my research on him before I scheduled our phone call. he appears knowledgeable based on his online resume.
Samuel Peter Descovich is the go-to financial advisor during market turmoil. With his expertise, I made over $220K, revealing hidden market opportunities. Having an investment counselor is crucial, especially for those nearing retirement.
I found his extraordinary resume when I searched for his name on Google. I count it a gift that I went over this remark

As an Egyptian this is exactly what's happening, my family is lower class and we can't even afford chicken or meat or eggs or sugar or oil or ghe or rice, take this from me if you have less or no money you have no place in Egypt. I can't even go to a good university because of how expensive it is, I am an extremely smart student I could be called a "valedictorian" in American terms but this will go to waste, I'll probably just end up being a miserable housewife because how bad this is becoming. While we are suffering el Sisi is building a new city for the rich that will only benefit him (and the rich ofc) please raise awareness on this matter, if Sisi continues we are doomed (no literally doomed, he said he can destroy all of Egypt with just 2 trillion Egyptian pounds, some dr^gs and cigarettes)
egypt has become a country where only the rich can actually have a good experience of living. all other areas are falling apart, everything's price is rapidly increasing, there doesn't seem to be any hope and there definitely won't be another "revolution". also, i think all the expensive new compounds being built are fake, they don't show what egypt really is, and it's just a trick to tourists and foreigners.

and this is exactly why our country will keep getting worse. a brilliant student like you should have dozens of opportunities and scholarships that support you without you having to pay any money. our country doesn`t even offer the chances of a student's loan, like the UK for example. a country without good education and extreme poverty is a country gone to waste. I'm really really sorry u were born in this terrible era but don't give up and if u have a good academic grades, you can apply for fully funded scholarships outside Egypt. that's the best you can do.

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.

Has anyone else noticed a pattern that when a president says things like "we need to temporarily suspend democracy and give the president temporary emergency powers" it's never temporary and the president ends up becoming a dictator?
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)
@@kmarei Saying "always advertised as temporary" is very weird as no ruler really rule forever because of death.
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.

El sisi is a military dictator and many times worse than mubarak, who at least listened to people when he was wrong on economic matters.
He gave the entire economy to the military, completely dismantling the private sector.
In many of hes speeches You can hear him say. He wants the military. To have at least 50 percent of the economy. Which is pretty insane.
Egypt is essentially run by a military Mafia.
If you are a young Egyptian, you can't open a business that competes with the military.
They will do whatever. To drive you out. Even imprison you.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

To represent other countries like Britain.
Why?
Because the military Mafia takes away all their winnings. Which left them living in debt
And don't get me started. On how He ruined Tourism And, Our airports ,ports And public services.
All these fields are now corruption swamp. Everyone needs a bribe.

He has given all top positions to generals and foot soldiers. With no experience. Or educational background on the field. Honestly. Is less like Putin and more like Kim Jong un
As I see it: egipt has a lot of international influence due to suez canal and also needs it's military due to geographical location, so change must come within to make the military allow civil rule. This isn't happening and it has consequences not only for egipt but the region aswell.
Not defending sisi or anything, but he didn't say he want the military to have half of the economy... He was actually answering a quest about how the size of the military economy.. He said it's just 2% of the economy.. And he was defending it by saying it would impressive if the military have half the economy... Referring that 100 thousand people can't run half the Egyptian economy!!

as Egyptian whats happing in the uk is due to yall allowing illegal immigrants @@Anastasis-is-here
@@Anastasis-is-here True, but its different for Egyptians as all the commodities are being sold in their international dollar prices, while the working citizens are getting paid in Egyptian pounds. So for example: if your salary is 4000 british pounds a month, its not life threatening when price of 1kg of meat goes from 30 to 50 pounds. For Egyptians however, their salaries are 5000-6000 a month ( Egyptian pounds) and price of 1kg of meat is 400 pounds +. So imagine paying 400 british pounds for a single 1kg of meat. Its a joke.

-inflation happens
-everything gets expensive and everything is in U$D
-all other currencies are becoming weak again the dollar and the dollar was inflated
-countries cant afford to import goods in U$D and can’t repay international debt which are in U$D
-countries go broke

I mean, 2014 case was him getting elected. Muslim Brotherhood clearly didn’t win hearts of Egyptian after a year of being in power.
Neither side was truly democratic, the Islamic Brotherhood didn't care about that, nor did the Egyptian military which was behind the scenes the whole time. It is even possible that Morsi only got into power due to the military and when he was no longer useful they orchestrated his fall.

also Toshka was Mubarak's mess
It’s strange that Toshka was chosen as an example of a failing mega project. That was Mubaraks project more or less abandoned over 20 years ago. The Suez Canal was an early one of Sisi but more relevant would have been the New Administrative Capital being built and the longest monorail in the world (mostly in the Cairo desert)
thats the only thing that was strange to you? the adminstrative capital didnt cst the state a penny but was funded by selling the land to private investors, so him claiming that is questionable is what is questionable and tells u his agenda clearly. the second suez canal was well worth it considering the record high returns now of almost $1b per month.

The Western media view of Egypt's politics is by far the most biased reporting I have ever seen since their false reporting on Iraq's mass destruction weapon program.

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.

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.
Yea Europes structure used be authoritarian as well. Also yes it was a call for democracy lol. I’m arab I understood the languages people wanted the right to vote at the ballot box.
Egypt with it's Suez Canal, the Huge Nile dam, large gaz discoveries, has access to massive financing that get paid by it's high population growth and the large egyptian community present internationally.

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.

It’s a well known fact that si. si is an israeli agent that led egypt in only 10 years to the worst economical, allowed corruption to flourish, and, through his cooperation with Israel, contributed to the perpetuation of Israel’s control over Palestinian territories. While making Egyptians in their worst times
Weakening Regional Resistance to Israel:** Many believe that Sisi's close ties with Israel and his cooperation on security matters in Sinai have weakened regional opposition to Israel's policies, particularly regarding Palestinian statehood and the continued expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
Anyone who continued to watch his actions through the years would know that his only reason to stay is to destroy Egypt in all ways.
He's been in office for 10 years. Even if he was doing a good job, it would be time for him to leave.
All countries are exposed to crises, and a country like Egypt has an economy that was growing under a lasting war on terrorism from 2014 to 2022, costing millions of dollars and lives, and its fierce war with the fragile and weak economy, which was in a hiatus that lasted for a period of no less than 30 years, other than what happened in... 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. They always portray that the solution is in democracy, revolution, or discontent with the ruling regime. Please, please, this is not the solution. Do not let us give examples of the European countries that did not implement democracy well until the situation stabilized.
No country is democratic when it becomes a developed economy. Europe and even wartime economic systems, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea were all military dictatorships for a period of time. The Western "democratic success theory" is just complete nonsense. They only slowly turned into a democratic system after success.

It is important to note the ruling party formed by the Muslim Brotherhood was a technocratic party that included experts who were either muslim or christian. Stating that the Muslim Brotherhood is a fundamentalist movement is false.

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 😊
