Egyptian President warns of developments in Syria

The video, a compilation of old speeches by Sisi, comes in the aftermath of the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"Pay attention, their mission in Syria is complete," Sisi said in the video, broadcast by ON, a channel operated by United Media Services, a company owned by the Egyptian intelligence services. "They have already destroyed Syria," he continued, adding: "Their goal is to bring down the Egyptian state."

Sisi became president in 2014, a year after he led a coup against his democratically-elected predecessor Mohamed Morsi, who died in custody in 2019 due to medical negligence.

With over 60,000 political prisoners and thousands thought to have been forcibly disappeared, Sisi's ten years in power have been characterized by what Human Rights Watch and other rights organizations have called the worst human rights crisis in modern history.

"They know that if Egypt falls, chaos will spread around the whole world," Sisi said in the ON TV clip. "That's why all efforts are being made to undermine the Egyptian economy and social peace.

Sisi then vows to protect Egypt from such efforts. "I say again and hope everyone understands this message, we will not hesitate to protect our nation from evil and its people."
