The Egyptian President is Wylin

      Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is not doing the best job when it comes to promoting fair and transparent elections in Egypt. The former military man continues to prevent any type of firm opposition in the upcoming elections.  The only candidate which has been allowed to participate is someone who backs el-Sisi for re-election. Many throughout the world expect Sisi to win by a land slide, and serve another term as Egypt's leader. El-Sisi began his tenure when he lead a coup against the Muslim Brotherhood regime and then leader Mohammed Morsi. He since hasn't done much for Egypt and has mostly talked of a fight against terrorism which the type of rhetoric the West tends to love.

     Opposition leaders have called for an all out boycott on the election due to the absurdness of his actions. Although after reading up on Sisi and his regime, one would assume that he was an unpopular figure within Egypt, but that is not the case. Sisi is actually a very popular figure due to the countries long standing relationship with its military forces.  Egypt has been a military dictatorship for a lot of its history. The people have never known anything but that type of government, but in 2011, the people decided there was a need for change and revolution number one took place. People took to the streets, surrounded Tahrir Square, and demanded that then president Mubarak step down. He did eventually step down, and after many deaths and injuries, the first elections in 25 years were held.
 
  Mohammed Morsi was elected along the Muslim Brotherhood party lines, and when he started to get carried away with the power he was given, revolution number two erupted. Brotherhood supporters clashed with opposition which led to many casualties. Them Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the Egyptian Army decided to overthrow the leader and install a new government, promising elections in the near future. When those elections came Sisi was voted in by a huge margin.

     This long and confusing history of the past 7 years in Egypt has led us to today. Where the army has absolute control over the Egyptian people. To give a few examples of the dictatorship that has developed, el-Sisi has closed down news websites, claiming that they spread lies and work with terrorist groups, he limits freedom of speech, such as when Egyptian John Stewart: Bassem Youssef was exiled from his homeland because his thoughts about the regime were not in line with the governments orders. This is a country that underwent not one, but TWO revolutions, which have been a complete failure to date.
   
      Many look at Egypt as just another Arab country who will never succeed with a democracy, but you have to look at the way in which the Egyptian military controls Egypt. It is much different than other societies. The Egyptian military has an economic stranglehold on Egypt and its citizens. Industries which are in most societies, civilian owned, have been completely militarized. We're talking energy, farming, agriculture, and many other types of industry, you name it and the Egyptian military is involved in some way or another. So why would Sisi want to give up that type of power, he is sitting on a gold mine, an Egypt filled with resources owned by the military which he is in control of. This is just another sad story in the history of the military dictatorship in Egypt. Hopefully a majority of the people in Egypt will start to realize the issues start with the military and they will work towards change. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is Wylin.

Also, the man arrived on a red carpet to a state of the union speech, a red carpet which stretched over 2 miles, the dude had what looked like Gucci shades on, then went on to ask the Egyptian people to send him money through their phone cause the country was broke. Watch this hilarious John Oliver bit about him and you will see why wylin is the appropriate word:
