SloveniaEgypt has officially opened its new headquarters for its armed forces, known as the 'Octagon,' which is described as the largest of its kind globally. The complex, located in Egypt's new administrative capital east of Cairo, covers approximately 90 square kilometers—comparable in size to Lisbon, Portugal. The project reportedly cost around €50 billion, making it one of the most expensive under President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's leadership. While the facility symbolizes national strength, Egypt currently faces severe economic challenges, including an external debt of €143 billion, with many citizens criticizing Sisi's large-scale projects for exacerbating the crisis.
