The Honeymoon Is Over In Egypt As Press Bites Into Sluggish Sisi

Egyptian newspapers are publishing what would have been unthinkable when then-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi removed the Muslim Brotherhood from power in 2013: suggestions that he is fallible.
It is a sign that a man who enjoys cult-like support may be starting to lose some popularity as elected president.
Egyptians await delivery on many promises, ranging from a better school system to improved health care in the Arab world's most populous country, where many are mired in poverty.
The pro-government Al-Watan newspaper has run exposes on the obstacles in the way of Sisi's reform plan.
Al Watan has identified factors undermining Sisi, including corruption and nepotism.
It has criticized what it said were violations committed by police forces.
Other publications; such as Al Bursa and al-Masriyoon, have called upon the government for signs of progress in reform while calling for presidential elections.
