Pro-Turkish media, which is controlled and financed by the regime of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is trying to insidiously create unrest in the society of Egypt against the current President of Egypt Al-Sisi. More specifically, it states that President Sisi is facing a severe wave of poverty, bringing the people to despair, as if in Turkey itself they are living a “gifted life”.
The problem for the Turks is the delineation of the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ) with Libya, and the presence of the American Chevron, which discovered a huge deposit outside Alexandria, which will give this country a breather, as the same will happen with the Greek deposits south of Crete.
The pro-Turkish media (https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/egypt-sisi-on-the-brink-uprising-is) reports:
“Sisi has also used recent public speeches as an opportunity to describe the supposedly extraordinary efforts his government has made to save Egypt from destruction and to imply that Egypt’s problems are too great to solve.
In a speech last month, Sisi said: “I swear to God that no one could do more than what we are doing.” In an earlier speech, he argued that “no president in the world could solve these problems.” In other speeches, Sisi has suggested that Egypt’s problems are intractable, noting that even previous presidents have been unable to solve them.
The most telling, perhaps, are Sisi’s comments about the mass protests that began on January 25, 2011.
His comments were highly critical and represent a significant departure from his previous speeches, which have often praised the “glorious revolution” as a display of Egyptian courage and honor. More than anything else, Sisi’s remarks suggest he is worried about the possibility of another uprising.
Sisi has specifically warned Egyptians not to protest, saying the path of national protest “scares me” because it could “bring any nation to its knees” and that it “should never happen again [in Egypt]”.
These remarks suggest that Sisi is deeply concerned. If he did not believe that mass protests were a realistic possibility, there would be no need to issue these kinds of tactical admonitions.
It is true that Sisi has consolidated power in all state institutions, made the prospect of protest in city squares more daunting and created an atmosphere of fear.
For all these reasons, perhaps, previous calls for protest, including those last November, have failed to gain momentum.
The reason for the current situation is that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates now appear less willing to provide substantial grants and loans to buy up state-owned Egyptian assets, including companies and banks, which Sisi’s critics argue amounts to selling off significant revenue.
For years, Sisi has deplored critical media coverage and referred to critics as ahl al-shar, or “the people of evil.” In an earlier speech, Sisi said: “Don’t listen to anyone but me,” the article said.
In Turkey there is fear and terror, protests are banned, prominent politicians are jailed, and Kurdish politicians are rotting in prison, while the people are groaning with hunger and terrible precision, which has also spread to the EU.
This is the reason for mass protests but not for “armed” uprisings, which the neighbors dream of, who cannot cope with the Egyptian President who knows them inside out.
