Former minister Zahi Hawass compares Egypt's Abdel Fatah al-Sisi to pharaoh | World news | The Guardian

Former minister Zahi Hawass compares Egypt's Abdel Fatah al-Sisi to pharaoh | World news | The Guardian: n Hawass's view, the upheaval Egypt has experienced since 2011 mirrors the century of chaos that preceded Mentuhotep's accession to the Egyptian throne in 2046BC. Mentuhotep restored order to Egypt – much as Hawass argues Sisi is about to do today. "We need an elected officer – a strong man – to control the country. And in my opinion, Sisi is our only hope."
