Egyptian President Sisi sworn in for third term
He won a December election with 89.6 percent of the vote against three relative unknowns, after opposition challengers were sidelined or jailed.
Speaking before parliament, Sisi vowed to"remain faithful to my work, my eyes seeing only your interests and this country's". In his inauguration speech before parliament, Sisi said he"renews his vow to continue on the course to build the nation". The $58-billion megaproject is the crowning jewel of Sisi's administration, which has poured billions into Egypt's infrastructure but has been criticised for massive debt-fuelled spending.
