The real danger is blowing up countries from within. Rumors, acts of terrorism, loss of hope and feeling of frustration, all these work in a grand network aimed at one objective, only one objective, and that is to move people to destroy their country," Sisi said Sunday.
The mastermind of the July 2013 military coup against Mohamed Morsi, Egypt’s first democratically-elected president, said his government had detected 21,000 false rumors over a period of three months.
"Destroying our countries will not happen unless it came from within. We must be alert and pay attention to what is being spun against us in secret," Sisi added, without naming any party.
Sisi's government has faced criticism from ordinary Egyptians over the raising of fuel, electricity and transportation prices, under an IMF reform plan calling for austerity measures that have made life tougher for many Egyptians.
