Egypt’s Anti-Sisi Protests

Thousands of Egyptians took to the streets, demanding the resignation of President Abdel Fattah el Sisi.

Sisi says the allegations are lies and has responded by ordering a police crackdown. We look at the latest round of anti-government demonstrations across Egypt and ask: can they succeed?
