Abdel Fattah el Sisi förblir president i Egypten 2026, efter att ha innehaft ämbetet sedan 2014.
Hans nuvarande regionala inflytande är kraftigt minskat, med ett geopolitiskt inflytandepöäng på endast 4 av 100.
El Sisi maintains firm control over Egypt's government and security apparatus, but his international standing has deteriorated. An Italian court convicted three Egyptian agents in 2026 for the kidnapping of Italian student Giulio Regeni, further damaging Egypt's diplomatic reputation and raising questions about state security practices under his administration.
Egypt faces mounting pressures from regional conflicts beyond its control. Ethiopia's internal conflict poses direct threats to Egyptian interests, particularly regarding Nile water security, as tracking data identifies potential conflict spillover risks across the Horn of Africa and broader region. El Sisi's government confronts these external challenges from a weakened geopolitical position, having experienced significant erosion of influence over the past twelve years of his presidency.
