Egypt - Another African Leader Wants To Extends Tenure In Office by TheShopKeeper(m): 6:38pm On Feb 14, 2019
...african leaders do really have a problem about extending themselves in power forever...President Hosni Mubarak was in power for over 30years...now President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi...could potentially stay in power until 2034...

With Constitution Changes, Egypt's President Could Stay In Power Until 2034

Egypt's parliament has overwhelmingly approved proposed constitutional changes that would allow Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to potentially stay in office until 2034.

The changes, which must be approved by a referendum to enter into force, would also further enshrine the authority of the Armed Forces in "maintaining the foundations of the civil state."

Egypt's parliament, which has 596 members, saw 485 votes in favor of the changes. The body is largely made up of supporters of the president. According to The Associated Press, the amendments will be submitted to a committee to finalize the language, then parliament will vote again.

Egyptian human rights groups are expressing alarm. Eleven groups signed a statement saying that the amendments "effectively serve to destroy the constitutional separation of powers, concentrating all authority into the president's hands and solidifying his authoritarian rule."
