Why don't the egyptian people revolt against sisi?

Egypt has faced significant challenges over the last decade, from economic hardships to political repression. Under President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the government has implemented strict measures to suppress dissent, including arrests of activists, journalists, and political opponents. While this explains part of the reluctance to rise up, it leaves me wondering: why don’t we see more organized resistance or protests from the Egyptian people?

The economic situation is dire for many. Inflation is skyrocketing, unemployment is high, and essential goods are becoming unaffordable for large segments of the population. Additionally, the government's mega-projects, such as the expansion of the Suez Canal and the construction of a new administrative capital, have drained resources without clear benefits for everyday Egyptians.

Beyond economics, the political environment is oppressive. The 2013 coup led by Sisi dismantled the democratic gains of the 2011 revolution, and the regime’s heavy-handed security measures make public dissent risky. It’s understandable that fear plays a role, but history has shown us that oppressive regimes can crumble when people unite.

At the same time, it seems like much of the population is either resigned or too preoccupied with day-to-day survival to engage in political action. Some might even believe that there’s no viable alternative to Sisi or that revolts could lead to chaos like in Syria or Libya.

So, I’m genuinely curious: what are the main barriers preventing a revolution in Egypt? Is it fear of the regime, lack of organization among opposition groups, or simply a sense of hopelessness? And is there a way forward for Egyptians who want change but feel trapped under the current system?

I’d love to hear perspectives, especially from Egyptians or those with insights into the current situation.
