Egyptian actor, Amr Waked, who lives abroad accused Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, yesterday, of “committing five crimes that incurred heavy losses.”“Sisi has wasted Egypt’s sovereignty after ceding the Tiran and Sanafir islands and the construction of the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which threatens Egypt’s Nile water share,” Waked said on Twitter. من ساعة ما السيسي مسك حكم مصر و: – خسرنا سيادتنا على تيران وصنافير– خسرنا سيادتنا على نهر النيل– خسرنا ابسط حقوقنا وحرياتنا– خسرنا كمية كفاءات وشخصيات وطنية يا محبوسة يا منفية. In the lead up to the demonstrations, human rights watchdog Amnesty International called on world leaders to act to stop President Al-Sisi’s crackdown on protesters. Al-Sisi’s regime has gone to great lengths to curb the protests, including labelling them “lies” and “slander”. According to figures compiled by the Egyptian Coordination for Rights and Freedoms, over 2,350 people were arrested in the space of two weeks.
