He pointed out that for the Egyptians, I know that there are challenges from 2011, and the circumstances are difficult, and from one crisis to another, but the consolation is that God saves this country from all evil, adding: “If the matter is related to life and its cost, but there is a very big difference between… The costs of life can be dear to us, wasting lives and ruining countries.”
President Sisi stressed that Egypt will remain standing and steadfast, capable of you and no one can harm Egypt, stressing that Egypt’s ability to secure and protect itself is sufficient, thanks to God. But the people are responsible with us for preserving Egypt and its security.
