MP Mohamed Selim: Sisi’s Meetings With Village Heads Reflect Care for Rural Egyptians

MP Mohamed Selim said President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s keenness to meet village heads reflects the state’s attention to rural residents.

Selim highlighted the president’s remarks that Egypt has around 4,500 villages, home to 50% of the country’s population.

The figures underscore the scale of Egypt’s rural communities, which account for roughly half of all Egyptians.

Selim linked the president’s engagement with village heads to the broader importance the state places on people living in the countryside.
