This month of June 2024, the Egyptian population reached the record number 106.4 million people. Egyptians added 126,000 babies in just one month. Dividing this by 30 days, fetches 4,200 babies per day.

Unsurprisingly Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi, in power in Egypt since he overthrew the Islamist Mohamed Morsi in a coup in 2013, was re-elected as president again for another six-year term. The election was fast-tracked because holding the election in 2024 amid a projected worsening economic crisis could have constituted a bigger political problem for president el-Sissi. The election authorities reported that the latter won his third presidential election, with 89.6% of the votes, a figure that obviously makes no sense. Many accuse the government of having committed massive election fraud. As president Sisi enters his third term, what kind of problems should we expect. Perhaps the question from an outside perspective is should we expect the government to stabilize the country in the years to come? And the answer is a resounding no.
