Has Egyptian President Sisi’s Approach in Sinai Failed?
The heavy crackdown in Sinai is being questioned after repeated attacks by armed groups in the peninsula.
Published on Jan 30, 2015
Source: Al Jazeera’s Inside Story
At least 32 soldiers have been killed and dozens more injured in the latest of a series of coordinated attacks in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
The government has blamed the banned Muslim Brotherhood for the violence. But an armed group calling itself the ‘Sinai Province’, previously known as Ansar Beit Al Maqdis, is claiming responsibility.
Despite unprecedented security measures in the region, including a controversial buffer zone along the border with Gaza, will president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi change course in Sinai? Or can his army end attacks in the area?
This interview was originally broadcast by Al Jazeera’s Inside Story.
