5 years since uprising, Egyptian opposition demoralized

Season 2016 Episode 250 | 4m 32s

It's been a tumultuous five years since Egyptians took to the street in mass protest. Now Egyptians are marking a somber and tense anniversary of a day that led to the ouster of Hosni Mubarak, the election and then military-led removal of Mohamed Morsi and the subsequent rise of the current president, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. Hari Sreenivasan talks with special correspondent Nick Schifrin.
