Egypt's War on Terror: A Year Later
A year ago, Dr. Helena Reimer Burgrová, IIR's Associate Researcher wrote the paper ‘Egypt´s failing war on terror’ for the Egypt Policy Brief series of the Heinrich-Böll-Foundation. A year on she sees a mounting escalation of the so called ‘War on Terror’ waged by President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi. With scores of dead civilians especially in Sinai, Reimer Burgrová assesses, that al-Sisi tries to legitimize his rule, while failing to provide real security for the Egyptian people.
Dr. Helena Reimer Burgrová is IIR Associate Researcher. Among her areas of interest is especially Egypt (political situation: the human rights violations/torture, military and security forces, civil society, the situation of the Christian minority, foreign policy) or MENA region.
