Abstract

Chapter Three Middle East Egypt (Sinai) With the election of Abdel Fattah Key statistics 2013 2014 el-Sisi as president in June 2014, Conflict intensity: Medium Medium Egypt’s military strengthened the Fatalities: 175 900 hold on power it had regained New IDPs: one year earlier, after ousting New refugees: 3,500 incumbent Muhammad Morsi. Sisi received 93% of the vote, while just 3% went to his sole rival Hamdeen Sabahi, a Nasserist who had come third in the 2012 presidential election. Due to the ‘cult-like’ follow- ing Sisi had obtained, the landslide was widely predicted, although his success was somewhat marred by a voter turnout of only 46%. Supporters of the ousted Morsi and his Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), the Muslim Brotherhood’s political branch, reorganised as the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy and called for a boycott, demanding that the former president be reinstated. Yet much of the Egyptian public emphatically endorsed Sisi’s platform of economic recovery and improved security, in part due to growing concerns about the intensifying insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula.
