11:23Now PlayingWith over 95 million inhabitants, Egypt is the biggest country in the Arab world. In 2011, thousands of people protested for days to overthrow HOSNI MUBARAK, the dictator who ruled the country back then. A year later, the Muslim Brotherhood gained power, ready to turn the country of the pyramids into an Islamist Republic. But now, in 2017, Egyptian politics are taking a 180 degree shift.
El-Sisi's government is closing radical islamic mosques and Egyptian society is turning secular on a hectic speed. According to the Arab barometer, less and less people pray daily or go to the mosques. Muslim Brotherhood is banned again and the country is heading towards a secular dictatorship.
But can this system last that long? Is El-Sisi losing popularity? Is Egyptian economy losing momentum? In this VisualPolitik video we tell you all the key questions about today's Egyptian politics.
