This is outrageous: #Egypt's parliament - dominated by Sisi supporters - will vote on Tuesday on constitutional amendments including an extension to President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's current four-year-term af.reuters.com/article/idUSKC…

“according to a recent draft seen by Reuters, those latest amendments could allow Sisi to stay in power until 2030 by extending his current term by two more years and allowing him to run once again in 2024.” #Egypt

The proposed changes also call for setting up a second parliamentary chamber to be known as the Senate, composed of 180 members, and giving the president new powers over appointing judges and the public prosecutor. #Egypt

They also include amending article 200 of the constitution to add that the military's duty is to protect "the constitution and democracy and the fundamental makeup of the country and its civil nature." #Egypt
