"August 23, 2012
The non-existence of the state’s presence in Sinai means the region has long been dominated by various rogue forces, from Islamist militants to human traffickers.
There are many reasons why the rise of religious extremism in Sinai seems a logical outcome or perhaps even an inevitability, prime among them being the absence of the state in all its forms. This has turned this part of Egypt into a fertile ground for any group that competes with the state over its sovereignty."
