President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi announced Saturday that his government is launching a national project to develop the Egyptian rural countryside, set to conclude within three years. “The Egyptian people will see the Egyptian countryside differently after three years,” he said. Sisi explained that the project is currently in its early stages, covering up to 1,500 villages, and will be the beginning of work to develop complete centers in the countryside and rural villages. For example, money will be injected directly with companies that manufacture electricity cables, for example, in order to develop their business and direct it in the project,” Sisi added. President Sisi pledged that the villages will be developed into something else entirely, and not short of sanitation, drinking water, alongside network of roads that will connect all villages.
