- 7 months ago
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi announces his candidacy for a third term in office, ahead of December elections he is widely expected to win, despite his security forces being accused of harassing and detaining opponents.
A year after deposing Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, Sisi won 96 percent of the vote in 2014. Four years later, he scored a 97-percent victory.
