Abdel Fattah el Sisi 2026
Abdel Fattah el Sisi remains President of Egypt in 2026, having held office since 2014.
His current regional influence is severely diminished, with a geopolitical influence score of only 4 out of 100.
Domestic Authority and Human Rights
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.
Регіональна нестабільність
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.
