I do wonder how their populations tolerate that shit though, were the repressions a decade ago that effective? Egypt has seemed particularly quiet while a genocide of Arab people occurs next door, do they still have nightmares of 1967 or something? military government will just kill you?
Around late 2023 when the genocide was entering its early phase, a piece of graffiti critical of Sisi showed up on a wall in a Cairo neighborhood; the state immediately turned off electricity to that entire part of the city, hundreds of cops and secret police swarmed the streets and every home and apartment within several square kms was searched
That’s the level of repression taking place in Egypt
I mean, they don’t, and that was a large motive around the Arab spring in Egypt. But the current state has an iron grip and the populace was exhausted and scared of what happened to Libya and Syria (ignoring that the revolts were very different there, and very different from each other)
