Cairo - President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi delivered a speech in al-Hammam City Saturday morning, on the sidelines of the inauguration of Mohamed Naguib military base, dubbed the largest military base in the Middle East and Africa. The base is located west of Alexandria on the Mediterranean Sea. The speech was nearly 25 minutes long and tackled several issues on Egyptian- Arab national security along with steps that are underway to develop Egypt's economy and living conditions. Sisi said in his speech that Egypt's enemies are working to destroy Egypt through the spread of rumors and hostility between Egyptians, adding that these tactics would not work. As for Egypt's battle against terrorism, Sisi explained that war strategy has witnessed a drastic change, as enemies now use sneakier tactics as opposed to direct confrontation. "Terrorism will not be eliminated unless countries that finance it are held accountable. We will not tolerate countries that finance terrorism with billions of dollars and kill our citizens," said Sisi. He further stressed that Egypt will stand by its political stance that is based in non-interference of other countries internal affairs, moreover he praised Egyptians' for their patience of the recent measures enacted to aid the goal of economic progress.
