How is Egypt doing after a decade of Sisi’s rule?

In this op-ed video, Osama Gaweesh, the editor-in-chief of Egypt Watch, discusses how Egypt has changed in the last 10 years under President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and how he has transformed the country into a “tightly controlled autocracy marked by widespread repression and economic struggles”.
Gaweesh addresses the deteriorating human rights situation, the stifling of the media, the struggling economy and issues facing the education and health sectors. He also highlights Egypt’s security threats, including Israel's control over the Rafah crossing, the violation of the Camp David Accords, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and the influence of Ibrahim al-Organi, a close associate of Sisi and his son, leads armed militias in Sinai and possesses the resources, influence and economic ties with Gulf states to emulate Hemeti's actions in Sudan.

    Lets not forget, el-Sisi lost in Libya since he was backing the CIA Puppet, American citizen General Haftar He lost in Ethiopia. He lost in Yemen with his UAE & Saudi friends. He is losing in Sudan. The electricity cuts for 2 to 4 hours per day is horrible. That is what Egypt deserves for making a war in Northern Sinai to bring the Z's in to build gas & oil pipeline from their cousins J's & Z's (USA 51st state) in Arish to feed Europe but their cousins cut the pipeline after October. Everything he accused Morsi of, he has done & done worse. Alhamdulillah. We deserve it because we turned our back & didn't fight

    I’m pro Palestinians and anti Xionists, but it aches me that people think that Bassem Youssef who is defending Gaza on air is a hero of free speech and rights of people, when he was instrumental in the west and gulf orchestrated coup against Morsi and the elected government. I still remember him making fun of Rabaa protesters after they were literally massacred. It was heart breaking to see how the most impressive revolution end in shambles like that. They won’t allow for a strong independent Egypt cause that could mean the end of illegitimate Israhell.

    I'm American I have lived in Egypt for 10 years I've seen the slow decay of the society. Religion being sucked out by the government towards Christian's & Muslims but especially Muslims. There are places where Niqabi and hijabi women can't eat or even swim. He wasted so much money on the light rail and Monorail. It would have been a lot better just to make the subway better. He has built cities but most are ghost towns, the new capital & Al Almein. Parts of New Cairo is busy but some parts is a ghost town and has 1000's of empty apartments. He has built bridges after bridges. Some work great. Some work a little & some doesn't make sense. He does build roads and massive freeways.

    It's important to be critical but what's the alternative? Egypt had elections in 2012 and got the Muslim Brotherhood. I'm a traveller who is in Egypt every year, and I like President al-Sisi because he has made me feel safer. There has also been huge investment in infrastructure in South Sinai. Moving around in Sinai now feels easier and more secure. I believe President al-Sisi also controls what the Imams preach in the mosques. Does that help? Or is it is just interference?
