Military Dictatorship

Did Sisi release ex-army chief to please Egyptian generals?

Experts say the sudden release of Sami Annan, Sisi's political rival, indicates Egyptian military generals are not so sure whether the country is heading toward the right direction.

Is Egypt's perpetual emergency meant to protect people or the Sisi regime?

The country’s authoritarian regime says that the emergency law prevents instability, but independent analysts say it’s a political tool used to suppress dissent.
