Abdel Fattah el-Sisi

Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is an Egyptian military officer and politician who has served as president of Egypt since 2014.

Egyptian Revolution of 2011: A mass uprising that began in January 2011 and ended Hosni Mubarak’s presidency. The upheaval reshaped Egypt’s politics and created the opening for el-Sisi’s ascent.
President of Egypt: The head-of-state office of the Arab Republic of Egypt, with executive powers defined by the constitution. El-Sisi’s authority and public role derive from holding this office.
Human rights in Egypt: The condition of civil, political, and social rights in Egypt under its laws and institutions. Rights organizations have documented restrictions and abuses during el-Sisi’s presidency.
Gamal Abdel Nasser: An Egyptian military officer and president who led Egypt from 1954 until his death in 1970. Both rose from the military, but Nasser’s revolutionary Arab nationalism differed from el-Sisi’s governing program.
Samy Anan: An Egyptian general and former chief of staff who announced a presidential bid in 2018 before his arrest. His blocked candidacy illustrates the constraints facing potential challengers to el-Sisi.
Mohamed Morsi: An Egyptian politician who became the country’s first freely elected civilian president in 2012. El-Sisi served as defense minister under Morsi before removing him from power.
2014 Constitution of Egypt: The constitution adopted in Egypt in 2014, establishing the framework for its government and presidential office. It set the initial constitutional framework under which el-Sisi governed.

Anwar Sadat: An Egyptian military officer and president who governed from 1970 until his assassination in 1981. Sadat’s economic opening and peace with Israel provide a contrast to el-Sisi’s domestic and regional policies.
Khaled Ali: An Egyptian lawyer and human-rights activist who announced a presidential bid in 2018 and later withdrew. Ali’s withdrawal highlighted the limited space for electoral opposition during el-Sisi’s second campaign.
