In the capital of Egypt, Large-scale protests against President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi have broken out in Cairo.
This was reported by URA-Inform, citing local media.
It is reported that hundreds of residents took to the streets, expressing dissatisfaction with corruption, economic policy and restrictions on civil liberties.
The main reason for the protests was the announcement of the construction of a new presidential palace and administrative center worth $45 billion. Against the backdrop of a deterioration in living standards, this has provoked sharp criticism from the population, which is already suffering from an economic crisis.
It is worth recalling that Al-Sisi, who has led the country since 2014, extended his presidential term to six years after a referendum in 2019. However, during his years in power, many Egyptians believe that the economic situation has only worsened, increasing discontent in society.
Supporters of the banned Muslim Brotherhood movement have actively joined the protests, adding to the tension. Experts note the possible influence of Turkey and Qatar, which traditionally support this movement.
The rallies continue, their scale is increasing, but the Egyptian authorities are still avoiding official comments on what is happening.
