Extremist groups in Egypt

CAIRO – A large number of extremist groups were formed in Sinai during the rule of ousted president Mohamed Morsi.

According to the Egyptian media, the situation has changed in Sinai since June 30th, the day Morsi was ousted by his people. The Egyptian military and police are conducting extended operations in Sinai to combat terrorism in the region.

As Sinai is situated in a wide desert, it has a lack of security, which led it to become an epicenter for extremists to practice terrorism.

These groups target youth, especially the poor and uneducated and brainwash them into thinking that extremism is the path to heaven.
