Why Moving Egypt's Capital City Beyond the Nile Failed

Is the future of Egypt beyond the Nile River? Egypt has poured billions of dollars into investments to create new settlements farther away from the prized Nile, including a new capital city in the middle of the desert. Egypt's military has worked for decades to migrate much of the country's more than 100 million people farther from the Nile Valley. President Al-Sisi's regime has bet his country's future on millions of people migrating to these new cities. But has his expensive bet paid off?

[mickymouse]

Inaccurate account of facts on the ground.

[mickymouse]

I reported IT as misleading and also hateful and abusive to our dignity and flag

[seifeldinelsawaf]

You know that the country (egypt) paid almost 9% from the new Cairo so don’t just talk bullshit and the other 91% are private compounds

[craigthebrute]

The capital hasn’t even been moved yet.

[seifeldinelsawaf]

We also gave free houses to people who are working for the government

[tareksalah]

A total waste of time and effort to convey inaccurate information !!

[mamdouh-Tawadros]

I thought of just passing this video, but the portrayal of what is happening now in Egypt as failed, is hideous claim of a hating institution. Far from being truthful, or “non bias”.

[keghampapazian]

This video is completely inaccurate and misleading.

[brysondan]

This is way too twisted and misleading, that I was just laughing my as* off the by the end the video.

[karamany]

Then lets ask anothor question master mind anti sisi and i will agree with you that the capital city are for the rich and high middle class but why the cities around the capital city is growing fast since it launching and the final question is the capital city is officially opened.
