One of the world’s oldest states, modern Egypt became a republic after the 1952 coup led by Nasser, who nationalized the Suez Canal. Sadat made peace with Israel in 1979, and Mubarak ruled for 30 years until the 2011 uprising. After a brief Muslim Brotherhood government, the army took power in 2013, and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has ruled ever since.
Its current leader’s position on the ten Caucus dimensions.
The army chief who removed President Mohamed Morsi in 2013 has built giant infrastructure projects, including a new capital, while suppressing opposition and the press.
Abdel Fattah el-Sisi sits in the left-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: leaning state-led and strongly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly authoritarian on liberty and authority, strongly nationalist on nation and strongly traditional on culture.

Caucus is free, has no ads and collects nothing about you. If it helped you learn something, you can chip in with crypto.
Our goal is simple: to help people understand politics, not just react to it. Democracies work better when citizens can tell a policy from a slogan, know where leaders actually stand and are able to meet ideas they disagree with. Political literacy is what protects us from manipulation and polarization, and it is the first step to taking part in public life. Caucus turns ten dimensions, hundreds of leaders and thinkers and every country's political history into something you can explore in minutes, and keeps it free and private for everyone. Your donation keeps it independent, ad-free and growing.
