Facing a massive energy crisis triggered by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Egypt is moving to secure its energy supplies. With Kuwaiti oil flows halted, Cairo has secured a critical lifeline from neighbouring Libya, importing over one million barrels monthly. The North African nation has also signed a framework agreement with Cyprus to pipe natural gas from offshore fields. Back at home, a strict 9 PM "energy curfew" has been imposed on Cairo’s famous nightlife, dimming the capital to save vital foreign reserves. Beyond logistics, Sisi discussed the war with Russian President Putin. He also issued a direct, personal plea to US President Donald Trump, urging him to mediate an end to the war in West Asia.
