Ongoing mass action against Egyptian dictatorial regime is nothing to ignore or gainsay. Egypt has the history of mass actions that just over nine years ago saw a long time dictator, Hosni Mubarak being pulled down on 11/2/11 after lording it over Egyptians for about 30 years. Thereafter, a democratic government was elected led by the late Mohamed Morsi whom the Mubarak elements led by current dictator Abdul Fattah al Sisi. Morsi made a grave mistake trusting al Sisi with the position of Chief of Defence Forces replacing Mubarak-era Field Marshall Mohamed Hussein Tantawi. Sisi didn't take long to overthrow his boss. Actually, what transpired in Egypt is similar to what transpired in Congo when the late Patrice Lumumba trusted Joseph Desire Mobutu who ended up conspiring and overthrowing him. In a nutshell, is what is ongoing in Egypt the beginning of the end of Sisi? Time will soon tell.
