Newly sworn in Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has promised to defeat terrorism in the North African country. The new leader, in his first speech as Egypt’s President said he would “defeat terrorism”, saying that security is a priority and that he has no time for reconciliation with opponents.
Hours after his inauguration on Sunday, the former army general said there would be a new era for all except those who “turn to crimes and violence”.
“Defeating terrorism and achieving security is the top priority,” said Sisi, adding there would be “no leniency and truce with those who resort to violence”.
“I am looking to a new era built on reconciliation and tolerance … except with those who committed crimes or used violence as a tool,” he said.
“I am saying clearly that those who shed the blood of the innocent and killed … the sons of Egypt, they don’t have a place.”
