The army and governments moved out of kairo into there own city, a retreat in all but name. And isil and the likes set new standards of purity, one must outcompete as a radical to be taken serious. Add to that bread price spikes made by putin.. Then again, i honestly don't care, the past is scanned ans thus eternal. Im more worried for the future..

I don’t see how the move out of Cairo really indicates a loss of control anywhere else. It’s not like all the army bases in the Sinai or Alexandria or anywhere else are going anywhere. And there are good reasons to leave Cairo otherwise—for example, the severe mismanagement of the Cairene urban environment, traffic, &c. As for the second point, there have always been Islamists more radical than the Muslim Brotherhood, and Daësh if anything has less power now than it did at its peak.
