- Summary:
- General Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, Egypt's ruler since July 2013, brooks no dissent. Having "saved" Egypt from the Muslim Brothers, he has ruled by decree in the absence of a parliament, supported by a handpicked technocratic cabinet. His security apparatus muzzles the press, keeps dissident voices off-air, arrests secular as well as Islamist critics, and clamps down on civil society.
