Alas, Egypt just recently went from a (fledgling) democracy under Morsi to a military autocracy under Sisi.

Yes, and I'm still not over that to be honest. We were in it together, but foreign interests didn't seem to align with the will of the Egyptian people.

Egypt is a regional power, so they wouldn't let it off as easily. Plus, I recall that Morsi made some questionable decisions throughout his (short) term as president.

I wish my Egyptian brothers and sisters the best.
