Egypt, a country in northeastern Africa with an amazing heritage of ancient civilizations, has experienced the rise and fall of civilizations, foreign domination, and the struggle for national autonomy. However, over time, Egypt's economic development has not been as smooth as one might have liked. The return of the military** and the expansion of the military and corporate power have triggered an increase in economic injustice, which has become one of the serious challenges facing Egypt today.
The Egyptian people blame the military ** Sisi for these economic problems and have called on him to solve the dilemma. However, the military has always held a special place in Egypt's history, and the Arab Spring of 2011 failed in an attempt to promote a separation between the military and the government. Sisi staged a coup d'état in 2013 that overthrew the democratically elected Morsi and brought Egypt back to the era of a military-political alliance.
However, to understand the challenges and dilemmas facing contemporary Egypt, it is necessary to go back in time. Egypt endured centuries of Turkish Ottoman rule and suffered from British colonial rule. The British military occupation of Egypt had a profound political, economic, and cultural impact. From the signing of the Chais-Picot Agreement, which led to the partition of the Arab lands, to the Dubulfort Declaration to assist the Jews in establishing a state in Arab land, these events made the Egyptians gradually realize that they had been betrayed by the Western powers.
Britain took complete control of Egypt, even the Suez Canal, the lifeblood of Egypt's economy. This further stimulated the national consciousness of the Egyptians, and the secularized nationalist movement flourished, pushing Egypt towards independence. However, despite gaining independence, Egypt has not been able to move quickly towards economic prosperity and political stability.
This ancient and glorious country is facing internal and external difficulties. In the context of modern globalization, how to get out of the current predicament and achieve social stability, economic prosperity and democratic development in Egypt is a major issue facing the Egyptian people and leaders.
When we look at the history and reality of Egypt, an ancient country, we can see that it has experienced the glory of civilization, the pain of foreign domination, and the relentless pursuit of national autonomy. Today, however, Egypt still faces many challenges, especially in the economic and political spheres.
The military-political combination under Sisi has caused an unjust increase in Egypt's economy, which has directly affected the livelihoods and quality of life of ordinary people. The military's deep involvement in the country's affairs limits the democratization process, which could hinder long-term stability and social justice in Egypt.
Looking back at history, the period of British colonial rule had a profound impact on Egypt. It has weakened Egypt's economic and political autonomy and left a long-term negative impact on the country's development. This history teaches us that the control of a country by external forces can have serious consequences for the local population, and that independence means not only political autonomy, but also self-sufficiency and self-development in the economic and cultural spheres.
Egypt needs to find a development path that suits its own circumstances, which could include strengthening its internal economic structure, reducing corruption, attracting foreign investment to boost economic growth, and promoting a more inclusive and democratic political system. More importantly, people need to be truly listened to and their rights and needs respected to ensure social justice and inclusive growth.
As an ancient civilization with a long history, Egypt's future successful development will be based on the historical experience of the past, and it will also need to cooperate with the international community to face global challenges. Only in this way will Egypt be able to achieve true independence and move towards a more prosperous, stable and autonomous future.
