AUN to the only democratically elected leader of Egypt.
No surprise there, Terrorists like House of Saud and UAE oppose a democratically elected leader.

Sisi is also an ‘elected’ President during the Egyptian presidential elections in 2014 and again, he won in a ‘landslide victory’ in 2018. Who elected the Qatari Royal family who support the Muslim Brotherhood? It’s Salafi Vs Muslim Brotherhood.
Gen Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, architect of the military intervention in Egypt’s worsening political crisis, was little known outside the army when he was appointed Mohamed Morsi’s defence minister last August – part of the Islamist leader’s deft consolidation of power.
Sisi, a career soldier, was head of military intelligence and the youngest member of the 19-strong Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. But despite coming from the security establishment he had a reputation for being sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood – the reason, many Egyptians assumed, Morsi chose him for the job. Sisi is said to be a religious man, and his wife, unusually, wears the full niqab (face veil).
Sisi is about as "elected" as the last military dictator Mubarak.
This is a gross oversimplification and generalization of the situation in Egypt I usually appreciate your different perspective on things but one must not talk about what he does not know.@kickz
Just before Sisi took over what happened? Was Morsi blameless? He admitted that he foked up? How? Morsi didn’t win that election on his own (via Brotherhood supporters), he won with the help of the liberals, leftists, the moderates and other revolutionaries like the Student unions and women organisations and how did he repay them? He alienated all these groups and dismantled all semblances of unity with these groups and became divisive because he was only loyal to the Brotherhood policies and attempted to implement them. He issued directives and executive orders to bypass the courts and the judicial procedures to enact these policies. This led his former coalition partners to oppose and portray him as a religious zealot and a dictator like the others he replaced them and there were deadly street fights between them and the brotherhood supporters. This went on for weeks. That’s when Sisi and the military decided to intervene. Morsi played a big role in his demise. Most of his former partners would never trust the Brotherhood again. Add to that list the Egyptian Salafists.

Just before Sisi took over what happened? Was Morsi blameless being overthrown? He admitted that he made serious mistakes!! How? Morsi didn’t win that election on his own (via Brotherhood supporters), he won with the cooperation of a coalition of different entities including the liberals, leftists, the moderates, the Salafists, and other revolutionaries like the Student unions and women organisations and how did he repay them? He alienated all these groups and dismantled all semblances of unity with these groups and became divisive because he was only loyal to the Brotherhood policies and attempted to implement them. He issued directives and executive orders to bypass the courts and the judicial procedures to enact these policies and a new Islamist constitution that angered all these groups. This led his former coalition partners to oppose and portray him as a religious zealot and a dictator like the others he replaced them and there were deadly street fights between them and the brotherhood supporters. This went on for weeks. That’s when Sisi and the military decided to intervene. Morsi played a big role in his demise in which he admitted in an interview. Most of his former partners would never trust the Brotherhood again. Add to that list the Egyptian Salafists who are now supporting Sisi. The Egyptian Brotherhood should’ve listened the advice given to them by the leadership of Ennahda Muslim Brotherhood party in Tunisia. They self destructed.
