Password retrieved “Egypt regained the ruling password yesterday [Sunday], after it was stolen for a whole year. A terrorist organisation took it in the hope of tarnishing or wiping off the civilised and historic image of Egypt that has lasted for four thousand years. The people handed the password to Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi who stood by the people in spite of all the risks.” Dandarawi Al-Hawari, Al-Youm Al-Sabei The Third Republic “Today [Sunday], Al-Sisi will be sworn in as the first president of the third republic built by Egyptians after the fall of two republics and the staging of two revolutions. Democracy is a reality before our eyes.” Tarek Al-Kholi, Al-Masry Al-Youm An evil coalition “The greatest danger facing Al-Sisi is the ‘conspiracy project' that works with all its might to thwart his nationalist project and all the aspirations and dreams linked to it. The other danger is the fifth column that raises the slogan of defending democracy and the civil state. I expect a coalition between the MB conspiracy project and that of the fifth column in order to thwart the nationalist project.” Emadeddin Adeeb, Al-Watan 21 gun shots welcomed the new president “The presidential honourary guard saluted the new president with 21 gun shots declaring that Al-Sisi is Egypt's president. This took place in the presence of 43 heads of states and envoyees who attended the inauguration ceremony.” Al-Shorouk FACEBOOK “Egypt reaffirmed yesterday [Sunday] that it would regain its status among great states. The beginning was from the marvelous organisation of the inauguration. Egypt appeared as a pioneer state in which the protocol was highlighted by military discipline, in which modernity came hand in hand with genuine heritage. The meeting in Al-Kobba place was legendary and civilised, yet simple. It reminded me of Buckingham Palace. The world is now seeing the real Egypt.” Mustafa Mohamed
“History will record that our dear precious Egypt today regained its identity anew before the world at the hands of President Al-Sisi. Long live Egypt.” Siham Salaheddin Twitter Basil @basildabh Egypt's huge list of problems is evident in Al-Sisi's speech, which is all over the place trying to address all of them. H.A. Hellyer @hahellyer The irony of Al-Sisi citing Muhammad Abduh in his speech: Abduh's religious thought was an inspiration to the founder of the #MB. #Egypt The Big Pharaoh @TheBigPharaoh Al-Sisi gave former interim president Mansour the Order of the Nile, Egypt's highest order. The same order Morsi gave to SCAF chief Tantawi. Nervana Mahmoud @Nervana_1 So there was indeed a despicable rape in #Tahrir tonight. Another reminder that #Egypt has a long way to address its violence against women.
