Critics fear that El Sisi\u2019s \u201ctough rule\u201d Egypt is experiencing now is just storing up problems for the future as demographic and economic pressures mount. There are also expectations that El Sisi\u2019s \u201cunprecedented crackdown\u201d is setting up the president to remain in power \u201cfor the long term,\u201d Human Rights Watch researcher Amr Magdi <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/africaTech\/idAFL8N1R36A2\">tells Reuters<\/a>.

He suggests that <strong>the international community should separate freedom from democracy and to press El Sisi to take steps to increase the former<\/strong>. \u201cAs we should have learned over recent years: Elections alone do not a democracy make. So start with human rights, the most basic being freedom of religion and belief. Next comes the freedom to express one\u2019s beliefs. Before long, establish minority rights without which balloting is a path to majoritarian tyranny which is no better than other forms of tyranny. The journey toward a freer society that, over time, becomes a more democratic society won\u2019t be quick or easy. Nothing guarantees success.
