Abdel Fattah al-Sisi became Egypt’s de facto leader in July 2013 after the military removed Pres. Mohamed Morsi from power following mass protests against his rule. At the time Sisi was the defense minister and commander of the armed forces of Egypt. He subsequently resigned and contested and won the presidency in 2014.
