Abdel Fattah al-Sisi came to the forefront of events in Egypt in 2013, using massive demonstrations that eventually led to a coup d'etat against President-elect Mohamed Morsi. Today, six years later, Sisi bemoans that the demonstrations do not build or promote a country,
"If the demonstrations were to build Egypt, we would stand by the Egyptians standing in the street day and night," Sissi said at the opening ceremony of the tunnels under the canal of the Suez Canal in Ismailia.
"The Egyptians can change again, third and fourth, if they are not in their mood, but they have the awareness that they are taking economic measures for the future of their children," he said.
Although Sisi had earlier statements that the demonstration was a legitimate right guaranteed by the Constitution and the law, his relationship with the demonstrations seemed contradictory but at the same time logical and understandable. The man understands the impact of the demonstrations and their consequences, either in Egypt or in other neighboring and neighboring countries.
In March, while both Sudan and Algeria were witnessing massive demonstrations, the first demanded the overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir's regime and opposed the second term of the fifth term of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Sisi went out warning Egyptians of the dangers of demonstrating against their country. The country after the revolution of January 25, 2011, he said.
During the celebration of the Army Day of Martyr, Sisi talked about what is happening in "neighboring countries," saying that those who participate in demonstrations cause the loss of their country, and stressed that future generations will pay for the price of instability.
On July 1, 2013, Sisi used the demonstrations to issue a warning and a 48-hour deadline for the parties to the government and the opposition to agree on resolving the crisis that was gripping the country at the time. Two days later Sisi announced the dismissal of President-elect Mohamed Morsi and the appointment of the president of the Supreme Constitutional Court as interim president of the country.
Since then, although he has been defense minister until he ran for the presidential elections in 2014, Sisi has worked to curtail and suppress any opposition demonstrations, starting with the Rabi'a al-Adawiya and Renaissance rallies in August 2013. In return, the Egyptians demanded mass rallies, "He ordered the people to the army and the police to confront" potential terrorism. "
In November 2013, the Demonstration Law, which included provisions and conditions that made the demonstrations almost impossible, allowed the authorities to use force against demonstrators, including rubber bullets, stun grenades and water cannons.
The social networking sites have responded sarcastically to Sisi's recent statements about the demonstrations, some of which considered Sisi's words illogical because the demonstrations if they were originally launched would be against him.
