Abdelfattah el-Sisi

Abdelfattah el-Sisi is the current President of Egypt, having risen to power following a military coup in 2013 that ousted the democratically elected president Mohamed Morsi. A former general, el-Sisi has been credited with stabilizing Egypt after years of unrest, but his regime is also known for its authoritarian practices, including the suppression of dissent and curtailment of civil liberties. His leadership has been marked by significant economic reforms and infrastructure projects, yet he faces criticism for human rights violations and the marginalization of political opposition.
