Since September 20, Egypt's government has been facing a new challenge in the form of
massive anti-government demonstrations demanding the resignation of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi both in the capital, and in such cities as Alexandria, Suez, El Mansour, and Helwan. So far, there's been two major waves of protests, but additional waves seem to be just around the corner.
The spark that ignited the fire of people's discontent was not sparked by some bearded religious man from the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization banned both in Russia and Egypt, but
a young construction businessman who fled his home country to seek asylum in Spain by the name of Muhammad Ali. This individual accuses Egyptian authorities of depriving him of his claim to some 15 million dollars, with particular details of his claim remaining unclear to this date. However, the runaway entrepreneur decided to post a video on Facebook
accusing Egypt's President Abdul Fattah al-Sissi and senior military leaders of the Egyptian Armed Forces of rampant corruption. In particular, Muhammad Ali claimed that in his line of work, he witnessed constant abuse of public funds that were supposedly spent on the construction of luxury hotels, presidential palaces and the grave of the mother of President al-Sisi, who died back in 2014.
The first wave of protests broke out across Egypt on September 20, with Muhammad Ali coordinating them on various social media platforms.
It was followed by yet another wave on September 27 - amplified by the fact that people were gathering for traditional Friday prayer. Although the protests have so far failed to draw large crowds,
the authorities have already arrested some two thousand people.
