In Egypt, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was sworn in today for a second four-year term in office as the country faces major economic and security challenges.
Sisi won 97% of valid votes in the March presidential election. He faced no serious competition in his run for re-election. His only opponent, Moussa Mostafa Moussa, was relatively unknown and a fervent Sisi supporter himself.
As army chief Sisi ousted Egypt's first freely elected president Mohamed Morsi after mass street protests in 2013 and won his first term in 2014 with an overwhelming majority of the vote.
