Coverage

He performed one of those songs, called “Leave,” about former President Hosni Mubarak, on stage at Tahrir Square with thousands singing along, and video of the show became a hit on YouTube. A little afterwards Hosni Mubarak supporters attacked the square and injured him along with a lot of other protesters, but they remained strong.

Ramy Essam lives between Canada and the United states now, as he is marked as wanted for singing the previous song about the current president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. As the president wants to be the new dictator by forcing himself on the Egyptians and literally arresting anyone that tries to nominate himself against El-Sisi.
