Online Campaign to Oust Egyptian President Al-Sisi Launched in Egypt

What Happened?

A new online protest movement calling for the removal of Egyptian President Al-Sisi from power has begun in Egypt. The online campaign was launched just days ahead of the anniversary of the January 25, 2011, revolution in Egypt, which toppled the regime of Hosni Mubarak. 

The online movement appears to have been launched by disaffected members of Generation Z in Egypt, but the campaign also has the open support of the Muslim Brotherhood. Within hours of the social media campaign’s launch, hundreds of thousands of people in Egypt had signaled their support for it. 

Why it Matters

Egypt, which is the largest, most populous, and most important Arabic speaking country in the Middle East, has been beset by a series of social and economic crises during the past several years. Rising prices, a stagnant economy, and few job opportunities have increased the frustration of Egypt’s young people, who number more than half of that country’s overall population.

Because of its size and strength, Egypt commands the most influence of any country in the Levant. In addition to being a leading economic and military power, Egypt has also been a leader in the creation of new ideologies.

Many of the ideas underpinning the global jihadist movements of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century began in Egypt. For example, after his arrest in Egypt, Said Qutb wrote a treatise called ‘In the Shade of the Koran,’ which went on to become an ideological blueprint for organizations like Al Qaeda and ISIS. Osama Bin Laden’s mentor, Abdulah Azzam, was also Egyptian. 

One of the lessons from the Global War on Terrorism years, which is what the U.S. called its military operations from 2001 through 2021, was that poor economic conditions and political corruption are ideal breeding and recruiting grounds for terrorist organizations. Egypt has been led by secular rulers for decades, and those leaders, including the current President Al-Sisi, have worked to prevent the Islamist movement from resurging and gaining political power in Egypt.

At the same time, Al-Sisi’s administration has not been able to solve Egypt’s economic, political, and social problems, and the persistence and worsening of those difficulties has provided an opening for groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.

Because Egypt is also home to Al-Azhar University in Cairo, which is the most prestigious center of learning for Sunni Islam, the Islamists, who want Egypt to become a theocracy like Iran, have been biding their time and looking for a chance to seize power.

How it Affects You

The alliance of the Muslim Brotherhood with a popular protest movement whose aim is to oust Al-Sisi from power is a troubling development for Egypt and the Middle East. It indicates that the Islamists think they have a chance to duplicate the 1979 revolution in Iran, in which a religious leader came to power through a popular uprising. 

Most Egyptians do not want theocratic rule, but their willingness to ally with groups like the Muslim Brotherhood is dangerous because it could enable those groups to gain power, then impose a theocracy by force. For Egypt, the key bulwark against the Islamists remains the Egyptian Army. So long as the Army remains secular, the Islamists will not be able to rule Egypt. But if enough members of the Army adopt extreme Islamic beliefs, that could change.
