Hassan Shaheen, a founder of Tamarod movement, said Saturday that former Defence Minister and presidential hopeful Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi “used terrorism as a pretext to eliminate the youth.”


In a Facebook post Saturday morning, Shaheen accused Sisi of “failure” in countering terrorism, as well as failure in his former post as deputy prime minister.

Shaheen is a supporter of Sisi’s sole rival in the presidential elections Hamdeen Sabbahi.
