@dwnews: Egypt just built the largest defense complex on Earth, called The Octagon. While the government calls it a futuristic hub for national security, critics argue it's a multi-billion-dollar fortress built to insulate the ruling elite from its own citizens. As Egypt’s military expands its grip on society, ordinary Egyptians are facing historic inflation, poverty, and a collapsing currency. #dwcurrentaffairs

this man is with the Muslim brotherhood and we kicked them out in 2013, besides why did he talk about the army financial business and didn't talk about the new army equipment and new fighter jets, his problem with the president and we know why but ask him when the American president took the decision to build the Pentagon did he built it to represent himself or to manage the country defences so please when you want to ask someone about Egypt ask a real Egyptian not an enemy of the country and all Egyptian تحيا مصر دائما و ابدا 🇪🇬

If you have a neighbor, who shall not be named, that invades other countries, seizes territory, and commits crimes, you should invest every dollar in your defense.

Is the Octagon a symbol of Egypt's military regime, or a multi-billion dollar shield against another uprising?
