Lyse Doucet visits Cairo’s presidential palace for an exclusive interview with Egypt’s new strongman, President Abd-al-Fattah al-Sisi. After spending four decades in the military, he came to power in elections last year after the controversial ousting of the elected Muslim Brotherhood. He says he has a roadmap for democracy. But not everyone is convinced. What are his plans for his own country? What about Egypt’s wider role in the region? And, will the threat from the so-called Islamic State continue to grow?

Well to tell the truth , Al sisi stopped what would have become " the second Syrian civil war" in egypt , meaning he stopped Egypt from getting the same fate as Syria

I am afraid of the state of chaos that Sisi spoke about, and I hope that it does not reach us and reaches whoever ignited it in the first place. It started in Matrouh Governorate 😥

Sisi was very patient with the annoying and condescending journalist.
