[Greetings] Welcome to this episode of Revolution Rhetoric. Egypt, in the first year of the leadership of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, recovered the prestige of the state by upholding the values of competence and integrity. So said the Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab indicating that his government achieved successes in lowering the rate of unemployment and raising the economic growth rate during the first half of this year by more than 5.5%, but do the economic growth indicators and political stability… Do they include political and security and social stability? Experts say no and the reality indicates an increase in the economic burdens on the citizens after a lowering of subsidies and the trend toward lifting them entirely as reality also suggests the continuing insecurity in Sinai and various regions. And Egyptian writer Mahsoob at the front of Sisi supporters talks about failure in most of the issues being raised after the absence of strategic vision and dependence on the men of the Mubarak regime and its ideas. We look at in this episode of ours the conditions in Egypt during the year of rule of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi between his promises and achievement. We begin the discussion after our colleague Ziad Barakat’s report.
