I'm a foreigner living in Cairo and I'm so happy to see Egypt getting some attention! I've been reading through all of these questions and your answers and they've been great.
I was living in Cairo before the 2011 revolution, during the revolution I had to be evacuated out of the country but returned that summer. After a brief hiatus, I'm now back in Cairo. My question is: Do you think Sisi's recent election as president should make me worry about getting evacuated again?
It seems, based on the people I've spoken with, Sisi is bringing people hope and they believe he will fix all of the problems (most say this with the reasoning that he is a strong, military man). However, many people's voices are not being heard (whether through abstention, being in jail, etc). Do you think that tension will escalate?
