President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi has been trying to revive the country's economy, after the June 30 Revolution, which led to the ouster of president Mohamed Morsi, the leading member of Muslim Brotherhood (MB) terrorist group. The country has been living in a state of political turmoil and security vacuum as a result of MBs' targeting of state institutions, army personnel and policemen, especially in northern Sinai.
