The Egyptian state has been facing for more than 10 years, specifically before the June 30 revolution, many different challenges, as President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi stressed that the Egyptian state faces parallel challenges, and President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi was able to face and deal with these challenges in the field of energy, education and health.

President El-Sisi said: “The year 2011 was decisive and revealing.. Egypt almost lost.. and no one saved except Egypt.. If I spoke about parallel challenges.. what do you mean parallel.. there is no challenge before a challenge.. all challenges are on one line.. there is no My priorities are to take this and leave this.. It is not possible to WhatsApp.. All challenges must be answered“.

And President El-Sisi continued: “The first challenge to the Egyptian state after 2011 was the state of fragmentation and disintegration and the loss of hope and despair for all Egyptians. And Egypt returned to him.. This is the will of our Lord.

And President El-Sisi continued on how to face the challenges: “I had a problem with electricity, energy, gas and butane.. The electricity sector in Egypt cost 1.8 trillion pounds.. There was no electricity problem in Egypt?! .. The follower says you spent a lot of money on infrastructure and national projects .. Did I have a chance?! .. And this is what I said to the Minister of Electricity .. in 2014 .. the problem of electricity will be solved in a year so that the country will not be scribbled and lost.”

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi stressed that the situation after 2011 was very difficult, adding: “The state of chaos that occurred in 2011 cost Egypt $450 billion in a country whose economic conditions are not strong.”.

President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi said that the development of the transport sector costs 2 trillion pounds, continuing: “This means that there is a sector and the sector is qualified to work, serving 105 million and investors?! .. This applies to many other challenges, continuing: “What I say is sectors we work on. And we move in it in one context and market.. I had to deal.. Each country is supposed to have officials who know the culture and practices of its people.. and put solutions that are commensurate with nature.. What works for me may not work for me.. Every country has its own specificity.

Regarding the quality of education, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi said that Egypt needs 250 billion dollars to develop the education system.. Every student who learns needs 10 thousand dollars.. and this number is not mine..and there are obligations towards the citizen, my children, and my grandchildren.. the quality of education is a challenge.. The quality of public health is a challenge.

President El-Sisi added, “I sought a solution through initiatives…with ideas…whose circumstances are difficult to think…we are living as a challenge on a narrow strip from Aswan to Alexandria 150 years ago…the strip adjacent to the Nile…was appropriate during the days of Muhammad Ali 150 years ago…it was The population is 4 million.. It is no longer suitable when we are 82 million.. This is a great challenge.. in slums and urban planning.. and a challenge in urban development.”

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi spoke about the capabilities of the Egyptian state, saying: “I want an electrical connection with Saudi Arabia, Greece, Italy, Sudan and Libya.. Am I qualified?..Before that, I was not ready..I am currently ready..I say it with all humility..It was not useful. I say this before“He continued: “I am fulfilling these demands.. This path is with me.. I am ready to bear the cost and the consequences. This is the issue and the story.. whose economic conditions are not strong.. Is it possible to postpone energy for 10 years.. and then you say it is ready to receive investors.. and therefore it will not I will be ready for electrical connection to neighboring countries.”
