Why Egypt Can’t Afford Its $58B New Capital City | WSJ Breaking Ground

Free Palestine

Imagine if instead they had used the $58 billion to build high-speed rail up the Nile valley, better mass transit in Cairo, or new schools/universities.

Building people is more important than building huge cities
AS an Egyptian young man who lost his life due to bad planning and the control of Egypt by corrupt people and thieves
I say unfortunately that there are millions and millions of geniuses, young and old, who were not benefited from, and whose lives were deliberately destroyed
The most ancient people in the world have been exposed to tragedy since 1798 Until now 💔

Egypt is not the problem in gaza and so is not the solution for it this report depicted egypt as a belligerent in the current war.

US DESIGNATED TERROR GROUP " HAMAS " ?!?! WHAT ARE YOU THE WORLD RULER?

Poisoned report

why do they call Egypt the middle east when it’s literally in africa 🤔

Can’t afford to feed its own people without international aid

Egypt means Mummy & Piramid, their architecture should be inspired from Pyramids it will look cool they should try to realive their culture & civilization they should not follow Middle East, Egypt is a very great civilizational country like India Greece or China,

Let’s call it NAC City

More palatial infrastructure designed to ssrve the egos of the elite, while the rest of the population has to live in houses that are starting to crumble. Yep, thats proven so successful in the past! Not ...

Honestly the only people happy about this city outside of Egypt's elite (and those being paid to build it) are FPS video game developers who are salivating at a giant overengineered abandon dystopic city to set games/maps in.

Big desert city plans seem to be a theme in the 2020's

What a foolish waste for grandeur and pride. Have it study the feasibilities and cost on long term. Or is it a personal legacy for himself. As often the case. I remember the Shah of Iran spending on his glorious country was insane budget, angered the poor citizens revolt and caused his downfall. One wrong leader voted in, the citizens get to take the suffering.

🌎🇷🇺👑️💜️💜️🥰🥰

Egypt have a great vision for 2030 new capital one of greatest projects done in Egypt and there are more , As a Egyptian i trust in my government

looks so ugly..thats what my 6 years old son draws when I tell him to draw me a city.

Do people ever think why Egypt and jordan aren’t helping Palestinians

Western evil media and evil politician's desire will never be full filled. The project will be successful with the help of China.

It seems this channel just don’t like sisi and before speaking about human rights for Egyptians talk about Palestinians and what America did about it

Over a billion yet they are building a new capital. Gotcha. They can fund their own safety don't you think?

So it was the aliens that built those pyramids 😂

Sisi is driven by his cosmic ambitions rather than the practical capacity of his country. His actions may lead to the eventual bankruptcy of Egypt. He bits off more than he could chew...

This is simply pathetic if not disgusting. The impoverished country is wasting millions of dollars just to splurge, creating a smokescreen to hide the true state of affairs. At the end of the day, all of this is about clinging to power by any means and methods possible

Invader-Class Arabian Arabs love their expensive cities.

New shiny cities are more important than famine i guess.

"Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to requests for comment" nor will they ever 😂

Send the palestinians there?

If only they consulted just one, urban planner, a real one.

Countries under military occupation can never grow as they grow under democracy

Awaad has sold it
😂
😂😂
😂😂😂...shreklich

Please.. for the love of God, stop hiring narrators with extreme vocal fry ..

They might rather put that money into water security.

Poor reporting and biased assessment.

The fact that they've spent billions of a cash-strapped country's budget only to build a car-centric new city for the rich is simply infuriating. Are there even plans for a railroad to help the thousands of public sector employees who'll need to commute from Cairo every day? I mean since clearly most of them won't be able to afford housing in the new capital

How does the military have money to loan?

So they're building a whole new capital, getting the whole country in debt to run away from those same people that will end up paying this debt anyway? Seems like a 'genius' plan.

Don't fall for Western propaganda

ميلاد جمهورية مصر الجديدة .
العاصمة الإدارية المشروع الذي سيغير وجه مصرالمحروسة .

“Muslim” leaders: Our people need justice, education, healthcare, nutrition, manufacturing, crops, research & development.

“Muslim” leaders: let’s build skyscrapers and silly cities

WSJ hinting at the Zionist plan of population replacement for Palestine. Forcibly displacing them to Egypt in exchange for financial aid? When the Soviets and Nazis did that, it was called genocide.

Never understood why if their is poverty then why do Egyptians have so many kids! You don't have to have a college degree to know that if you and your two kids are hungry why on earth would you bring more to the world!

Everything wrong with authoritarian capitalism manifests in Egypt- it's like some 60's dictatorship wet dream but in an overpopulated country that will feel the worst consequences of the Climate Emergency. Good riddance Egypt...

Egypt have suez it's main Vain of earth 🌎

I hope Indonesia, my country,, won't fall to the same mistake, as the government is trying to build the new capital.

Hunger games ahhh capital

This is how megacorps gain more power

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look upon my works, ye mighty and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

The west will always slander anything egypt does. Thats because the UK wanted to keep the suez channal but egypt wouldnt allow it !!!!

😅

Sad to see Egypt making the same mistake that Brazil did with Brasilia.
