A small nitpick: Egypt doesn't have more oil/gas resources than it can consume, as stated in the video. In fact, it's facing enormous trouble extracting the gas it does have, which is not enough for its massive population in the first place. All of the gas that Egypt exports comes from other countries with pipelines to Egypt but no LNG infrastructure of their own.

[@user-pf1od6ot2h]

Let us not forget that Egypt was affected by a sharp decline in gas exports after achieving eight billion dollars in 2021 and seven billion in 2022. Egypt returned to importing gas. Also, Egypt decreased and lost six billion dollars from the output of the Suez Canal due to the Red Sea tensions, but on another level, Egyptian remittances, Egyptian exports, and foreign investment increased.

Realistically, a lot of Egypt's economic woes come from overpopulation. Egypt used to be the breadbasket of the Roman Empire but now has to import food. There just aren't enough natural resources in Egypt to sustain their own population. If you're struggling constantly to feed your people, relying on loans and foreign (unstable too!) grain producing regions, that is going to be a constant pressure. Having a good stable agricultural base to an economy is key, or at the very least having enough to feed yourself and ensure stability. Not to mention just how vulnerable they are now to any sort of disruption, environmentally or politically, or the fact that they're running out of living space near the habitable parts of the country. I don't see them escaping the current situation when such a fundamental aspect of their country is so broken.

Among the mentality of the religious citizens, many of whom are in the country, they do not evaluate the performance of politicians, especially the president, based on the results of their decisions, but rather according to their level of piety. You’ll often find that the president requests local channels to broadcast his presence at Friday prayers, not because he is religious, but because he understands the mentality of the citizens he is dealing with.

Weird how this kind of thing keeps happening outside the US empire. Must be a coincidence every time. Surely there's never a material reason for this.
