Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has called for measures to slow down the birthrate in the country, pointing to China's one-child policy as an example. Egypt, with a population of 105 million, recorded nearly 2.2 million births in 2022. Sisi disagreed with the idea that having children is a matter of complete freedom, stating that it could have negative consequences for society and the state. He praised China's population control policy, which was implemented in 1968 and abandoned in 2015. Sisi, who is expected to run for a third term in 2024, made these comments during the country's economic crisis.
