Egypt wants to fight more weapons

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi says he needs more military equipment to tackle Islamic State (IS).

After the losses of IS in Iraq and Syria, according to Sisi, militants depart to other countries in the Middle East and beyond. 'It's not just a threat to us. It is also a threat to Europe, 'said the Egyptian president.

Egypt has spent over $ 10 billion ($ 8.5 billion) since 2014 on French and Russian fighter aircraft, submarines of German nuclear weapons and other weapons.

In 2014, Sisi won the presidential elections in his country with force majeure. In recent years, the Sisi regime, according to human rights organizations, has put in prison tens of thousands of opponents.
