Egyptian President Sissi takes oath for third term. In power for a decade already, Abdel Fattah al-Sissi is expected to remain in his post until 2030.
His new mandate, which will begin on Wednesday and for a period of six years, is supposed to be the last in accordance with the Constitution. This inauguration comes in a context of severe economic crisis, marked by galloping inflation and a shortage of foreign currencies which hampers trade. The event also marks the inauguration of this new capital, according to local media.
