President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and the presidential election getting underway next week are in the foreign media\u2019s spotlight this morning<\/strong>. The Financial Times<\/a>\u2019 Heba Saleh and Andrew England write that El Sisi has stabilized Egypt but critics are warning of growing oppression. 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 tells Reuters<\/a>. However, it is unlikely Egypt will face any consequences from European leaders, who are showing \u201cgrowing indifference \u2026 to the defense of human rights\u201d and are instead focusing on stability, Judy Dempsey writes for the Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Egypt\u2019s middle class is \u201cbracing for more hardship\u201d under El Sisi\u2019s expected second term as the government presses on with austerity measures<\/strong>, Arwa Gaballa and Ali Abdelaty write for Reuters<\/a>. The middle class is currently unlikely to stage large-scale demonstrations against living conditions but \u201ctheir main grievance that would drive them to do so would be economic hardship.\u201d Meanwhile, Islamist Statelet mouthpiece Al Jazeera<\/a> is running an infograph-based piece on how Egypt\u2019s economy has fared under El Sisi\u2019s rule by looking at several factors \u2014 including inflation, unemployment rates, and remittances.<\/p>\n

Others are viewing the situation positively<\/strong>. \u201cFor the first time, there is somebody who is making decisions based on the long-term welfare of the country \u2026 For a long time, Egyptian governments traded popularity for sustainability,\u201d Qalaa Holdings Chairman Ahmed Heikal says. Heikal also endorsed El Sisi publicly in an op-ed he wrote for Al Shorouk<\/a>. Egypt\u2019s Coptic Christians are also expected to cast ballots for El Sisi\u2019s performance in the vote as they are thankful to the incumbent president for ousting the Ikhwan from power, according to AFP<\/a>. However, some activists have pointed out that \u201cthe Church does not represent all Christians,\u201d which do not vote in one homogeneous bloc. Meanwhile, Sisi\u2019s only opponent, Moussa Moustafa Moussa, says his campaign is \u201cvery serious,\u201d according to the Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2026The elections can be viewed as an attempt by El Sisi to win a vote of confidence rather than an actual contest<\/strong>, Clifford D May writes for The Washington Times<\/a>. He suggests that 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. But if there\u2019s a better way, I\u2019m not seeing it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
