Introduction. The article shows Egypt’s policy towards North African countries
after Abdel Fattah Al Sisi came to power in 2014. Particular attention is paid to
the analysis of the Egyptian national security.
Materials and methods. The authors rely on a large body of research: mono
graphs by domestic and foreign political scientists, relevant data and documents from
Russian and external institutions, scientific articles, normative legal acts. Agreeing

the classical model of political realism. Among the main general research methods
were analysis, synthesis and deduction.

faces very serious goals, the absence of a solution to which could lead to catastro
phic consequences.

bodies, coordinating cooperation between the countries of the region, international
assistance in resolving disputes between countries.
