Egypt opens world's largest military headquarters in new administrative capital

Egypt inaugurated its new military headquarters, the "Octagon," now the world's largest, covering an area comparable to Lisbon. The massive complex, located in Egypt's new administrative capital, features eight central buildings and reportedly cost billions. President Sisi attended the opening ceremony, emphasizing national resolve. This development occurs amidst Egypt's severe economic crisis and significant foreign debt, with some citizens blaming Sisi's large-scale projects. The IMF recently agreed to further financial aid for Egypt.
