  • Fact Check: Egypt uprising after Syria? No, these videos are old India Today found that all three videos are from September 2019 when protests against President Sisi erupted in Egypt. They are not recent at all. Listen to Story India Today Fact Check All three videos are from September 2019 when protests against President Abdel Farrah el-Sisi erupted in Egypt. After Syria, is Egypt on the brink of an uprising? That’s what’s being claimed alongside a set of videos showing people tearing banners of Egypt’s President Abdel Farrah el-Sisi and protesting on the streets. Those sharing the videos claimed, “PROTESTS ERUPT IN CAIRO AGAINST SISI. Egyptians hit the streets over Sisi’s $45B capital project amid crushing poverty and inflation. Critics slam the move as lavish while citizens struggle to survive. Is Egypt on the brink of its next uprising?” The archive of such a post can be seen here. India Today Fact Check found that all three videos are from September 2019 when protests against President Sisi erupted in Egypt. They are not recent at all. OUR PROBE Using a reverse image search, we found the first video in Facebook posts from September 21, 2019. This itself makes it clear that the video is old, not recent. We also found news reports from the same day featuring similar videos of people tearing banners of Sisi. One such report also features the screenshot of the second video. Per reports, these protests took place in multiple cities in Egypt including the capital Cairo. The third video was also shared around the same time on Facebook. At the time, massive protests erupted in the Egyptian cities of Cairo, Alexandria, and Suez. An Al Jazeera report noted that thousands of pro-democracy protesters marched in cities across Egypt, demanding the resignation of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Protestors hit the streets after Egyptian self-exiled businessman and actor Mohamed Ali accused President el-Sisi of corruption and appealed people to take to the streets. El-Sisi dismissed the allegations. Notably, we did not find any recent credible news report saying anti-government protests erupted in Egypt. Thus, it’s clear that the viral claim is false.
