Egypt political history and the rise of General el-Sisi

The provided texts trace the political and religious evolution of Egypt, focusing on the tension between secular leadership and Islamic movements. The narrative highlights a historical shift from various eras of foreign and local rule toward the implementation of Islamic law during the period of Saladin.

Following the era of Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat, and Hosni Mubarak, which are characterized as secular periods, the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi was elected president with a two-thirds majority. His attempts to introduce Islamic clauses into the constitution led to a power struggle between the Muslim Brotherhood and secular factions.

The conflict culminated in the military, led by General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, arresting Morsi and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders. After six years in prison, Morsi died following a collapse during a court appearance. The texts claim that public protests were suppressed and that the military's actions were influenced by external interests.
