Posting on his official page on social media, President Sisi said “Egypt has become an oasis of security and stability in the region, thanks to its great people and loyal men. So, I have decided, for the first time in years, not to extend the state of emergency nationwide.”
He went on to say “In fact, this decision was made by the Egyptian people over the past years through their honest and great participation in all development efforts.”
“As I announce this decision, I remember with all due respect and appreciation our heroic martyrs, without whom we could not have achieved stability and security,” President Sisi stressed.
He concluded by saying “Together, we move steadily towards building the new republic, with the help of God. Tahya Misr (Long Live Egypt), Tahya Misr .Tahya Misr.”
