Egypt under El-Sisi - Maged Mandour Gebunden

Since the coup of 2013 ended Egypt`s brief democratic experiment and retired army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi became president of Egypt his regime has unleashed mass repression and severe restrictions on an unprecedented scale. This has been characterized by arbitrary arrests forced disappearances and the torture of real - or suspected - political activists and dissidents. The Sisi regime has not only entangled the country in political violence but has also mired Egypt in a deep economic crisis. This book follows President Sisi's regime in the aftermath of the coup that brought him to pow er. It is a chronology of the devastating political economic and social consequences of direct military rule. Written by Egyptian political analyst and Egypt pundit Maged Mandour it is a compelling account built on years of writing and research. This includes analysis of primary sources such as laws constitutional amendment issued by the regime statements made by regime officials and local media as well as official economic data from state sources and international organisations. Mandour explains exactly how Sisi operates and what makes his regime so different and so dangerous compared to those that came before. It shows for the first time how Egypt has been pushed to the brink of the abyss and why this will change the country for decades to come.
