In Egypt\u2019s presidential elections, sitting Presidents always win with huge margins. In the December 10-12 elections, Mr. Sisi, a former general, faced three little-known candidates, while his most vocal opponent, Ahmed Tantawy, was barred from contesting. State-affiliated media ran a campaign-like coverage, <strong>touting<\/strong> <strong>(praise for something or someone repeatedly)<\/strong>the President\u2019s achievements. Mr. Sisi, unsurprisingly, won 89.6% of the votes, extending his rule to 2030. The tougher part, however, is to govern the most populous Arab country, now struggling with economic and geopolitical crises. When Mr. Sisi<strong> toppled (fall over or collapse)<\/strong>Egypt\u2019s first freely elected President, Mohamed Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood leader, the military\u2019s narrative was that the Brothers had violated the spirit of the 2011 \u201crevolution\u201d that brought down the regime of dictator Hosni Mubarak. But Egypt slid back to the Mubarak years under Mr. Sisi\u2019s rule. The regime, which killed hundreds of pro-Brotherhood protesters on August 14, 2013 to restore \u2018order\u2019, has tolerated little criticism and<strong> dissent<\/strong> <strong>(a strong difference of opinion on a particular subject, especially about an official suggestion or plan or a popular belief)<\/strong> since then. But Mr. Sisi also projected himself as a source of stability and a <strong>bulwark (something that protects you from dangerous or unpleasant situations)<\/strong>against terror, and launched ambitious debt-funded infrastructure projects, including a new desert capital city outside Cairo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he starts a new term, what requires Mr. Sisi\u2019s attention is the economy. <strong>Hyperinflation (a condition where the price of everything in a national economy goes out of control and increases very quickly)<\/strong>, at 35%, has already pushed many Egyptians into poverty. External debt stood at $162.9 billion in December 2022, some 40% of the GDP, according to the central bank. Egypt, which is facing some heavy repayments in 2024, is already in talks with the IMF and other foreign creditors for further assistance. What has made matters worse has been Israel\u2019s war on Gaza, which shares a border crossing with Egypt. Pro-Palestine sympathies have historically been high in Egypt, which signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. While Israel\u2019s <strong>relentless (continuing in a severe or extreme way)<\/strong> bombing pushed thousands to the border, Mr. Sisi tried to walk a fine line: publicly condemning the <strong>bombardment<\/strong> <strong>(a continuous attack on a place with guns or bombs)<\/strong> and calling for a ceasefire but stopping short of drastic measures that would endanger peace with Israel. Mr. Sisi has also said he would not be <strong>complicit (involved in unlawful or immoral activity) <\/strong>with any Israel plan for mass eviction of Palestinians from Gaza. But if the war drags on, he will come under greater pressure to let Palestinian refugees in, which may have economic and political <strong>consequences (a result of a particular action or situation, often one that is bad or not convenient)<\/strong>. Between a <strong>calamitous (causing great damage or suffering) <\/strong>war next door and worsening economic conditions at home, his challenge is to offer a stable rule in a country that has seen regime-changing street protests and a <strong>coup<\/strong> (<strong>a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government<\/strong>) in the recent past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to know meanings to difficult words in the Hindu Editorial Vocabulary of December 21, 2023.
