Egypt on high alert after petition calling on Sisi to stand down circulates
19 April 2022; MEMO: Egyptian authorities have put the country in a state of high security after an online petition calling on the president to stand down began circulating.
According to the New Arab, Egypt's Technocrats, which the expats who launched the petition are known as, have asked for the upper and lower houses to be suspended.
They are also calling for confidence to be withdrawn from Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi's rule due to an array of failures, including his mismanagement of the economy.
