Egyptians voted on Sunday for a second day on whether to back constitutional amendments that could see President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi stay in power until 2030. The three-day referendum was called last week, a day after Egypt’s parliament overwhelmingly endorsed the proposals, which would also bolster the role of the military and expand the president’s power over judicial appointments. Sisi’s supporters argue that he has stabilized Egypt and needs more time to reform the economy, but critics say they fear that the changes will stifle debate.
