Inside the Octagon, Egypt's 'dystopian' fortress against dissent

Egypt is constructing a massive fortress, dubbed "the Octagon," designed to house government buildings far from major population centers, according to a human rights expert. The purpose, as explained, is to stifle any potential dissent and keep the government insulated from public scrutiny. This move highlights the regime's strategy to maintain control by limiting public access and interaction with key government institutions. The implications suggest a deepening of authoritarian measures that could further isolate the government from its citizens.
