I know some Egyptians and they all say the same thing: al-Sisi isn’t perfect, but he has been necessary.

I think SISI was a reluctant leader, he really didn’t want to lead but willingly accepted. Now that he’s accustomed to leading looks like he wants to finish the job they gave him of cleaning up all that’s reflective or residual of the Brotherhood’s influences remaining.
But yes, Egypt, as with all Muslim countries, need leaders with a heavier hand that what the west has, Islamic teachings damage people so it’s not surprising they need a heavy hand....they settle their differences thru violence one way or the other and that generally escalates. We see this happening continuously with the refugees in Europe and where ever Muslims take over an area.
