I seem to have arrived in Egypt in the midst of a furore. My friends are talking about nothing else...it fills social media...and Sisi was on TV tonight trying desperately to poo poo the allegations.
According to his narrative, it’s all lies cooked up by the usual suspects.
An Egyptian businessman has rattled the military-led regime by posting videos online that claim he received corrupt building contracts from the army and its generals, including President Sisi.
Mohamed Ali, 45, worked for the Egyptian army for 15 years but after a dispute about payments he went into self-imposed exile in Spain, from where he posted the videos on social media. He claims that generals have wasted millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money on villas, hotels and a seaside palace for the president.

President Sisi noted during the eighth edition of the National Youth Forum on Saturday that what was mentioned in the videos uploaded on social media were “full of lies and slander.”
He added that the goal of these videos were to undermine the confidence “between me and the people and who he trusted.”
“Yes, I build presidential palaces and I will continue to build them but not for myself… I’m working to build a new Egypt.”
“And I say to every mother and every man who trusts in me… and I say to the people: your son (referring to himself) is honest, faithful and sincere, and this is not a response to anyone, but this is something known about me for a long time,” he stated.
