Planetary scientist Essam Heggy is “leading a peaceful revolution in Egypt,” Tafline Laylin writes in OZY. Laylin writes about Heggy speaking up against a series of topics, including kofta-gate and other topics including illiteracy, religious intolerance, disease, terrorism, and corruption, which he views as signs of “a society lacking scientific reasoning.” Laylin claims Heggy is going to challenge President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in the 2018 presidential elections.
