  • Does Egypt have a military?
  • The Egyptian military has been on a dramatic expansionary trajectory since seizing power in July 2013. Having previously been an economic backwater, the Egyptian Armed Forces (EAF) and other military agencies have spearheaded the enormous state-led investment strategy that President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has pursued since he came to office in 2014.
  • Is the Egyptian military involved in Political Affairs?
  • Without constitutional backing, the Egyptian military has twice been involved in Egyptian political affairs in the last decade. The first was in 2011 when the military helped push Hosni Mubarak out of power while the second time came only 2 years after, as the military overthrew Mohamed Morsi.
  • How has the military influenced Egypt's modern history?
  • The influence of the military in Egypt’s modern history has been apparent since the former British colony gained independence in 1922. ( 1) Following the military coup in 2013, the rise of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi concurrently has given the military a stepping stone in Egyptian hierarchy.
  • What role does the military play in Egypt's civilian economy?
  • The delivery of public infrastructure and housing is almost certainly the military’s most significant area of involvement in Egypt’s civilian economy, in terms of both overall financial outlay and net profit.
  • Is the military instilling authoritarianism in Egypt?
  • The successful passage of constitutional amendments codifying the military’s power highlight a new process of instilling authoritarianism in Egypt. Article 200 affirms that the military is now able to intervene in Egyptian affairs to “maintain the constitution and democracy” and “safeguard the basic components of the state.”
  • Is the military threatening private sector development in Egypt?
  • Both the World Bank and the IMF regard the military’s grip on state land as a critical obstacle to private sector development in Egypt and have lobbied consistently against it.
