“The Egyptians won't forget those who stood with them, or against them.”

Abdel Fattah al-Sissi , né le 19 novembre 1954 au Caire, est un militaire et homme d'État égyptien. Président de la République arabe d'Égypte depuis 2014, il est également président de l'Union africaine entre 2019 et 2020.
Militaire de carrière, il a suivi une formation en Égypte, au Royaume-Uni puis aux États-Unis. Ses compétences et sa loyauté envers le régime égyptien lui valent d'être nommé directeur des services de renseignements militaires par le président Hosni Moubarak. Après la révolution égyptienne de 2011 et l'élection, l'année suivante, de Mohamed Morsi à la présidence de la République, il est nommé ministre de la Défense par celui-ci, succédant au maréchal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, homme fort de l'armée.
Promu vice-Premier ministre après avoir organisé le coup d'État militaire du 3 juillet 2013 contre le président islamiste Mohamed Morsi, il abroge la Constitution égyptienne de 2012, élaborée par les partisans du président déchu, et conforte son influence politique avec l'adoption d'une nouvelle loi fondamentale, parallèle à de nouvelles élections. Il se démet de ses fonctions gouvernementales le 26 mars 2014 pour se présenter à l'élection présidentielle du 28 mai 2014, qu'il remporte avec 96,1 % des suffrages, bien que l'issue de ce scrutin soit contestée.
Si son élection a permis à l'armée de retrouver pleinement le pouvoir politique qui lui a été ôté à l'issue de la révolution égyptienne de 2011, al-Sissi est globalement présenté comme un dictateur, par les analystes, mais aussi par ses opposants qui le comparent à de précédents chefs de l'État égyptien, eux-mêmes issus de l'armée. Il est réélu en 2018.
En septembre 2019, il est confronté à des manifestations, une première depuis 2013. Wikipedia

Beware, instead of Egyptians fighting each other, no, you can fight us, and we protect all. how many would fight us? but Egyptians fighting each other would be a big war we couldn't have had the ability to deal with.
