The man behind congratulating El-Sisi across 8 Egyptian front pages

At least eight Egyptian daily newspapers (including two state-owned) featured a half-page congratulatory note on 4 June for Egypt's new president Abd El-Fatah El-Sisi.

The note read:

"Congratulations to Egypt

Under your wise leadership Egypt will add more to its glory for eternity

Hasan Abdullah Ismaik, Managing Director and CEO of Arabtec Holding, sincerely congratulates President Abd El-Fatah El-Sisi for the success of the democratic process and his election as president of the Arab Republic of Egypt"

The note occupied the bottom-half of the spread-sheet front pages of state-owned Al-Akhbar and Al-Gomhouriya. It also appeared in privately-owned papers of Al-Sherouk, Al-Masry Al-Youm, Al-Watan, Al-Tahrir, Al-Youm Al-Sabea, in addition to the liberal Al-Wafd Party's Al-Wafd. 

It carried the logo of UAE-based Arabtec Holding, whose managing director and CEO is Hasan Ismaik, a Jordanian billionaire who recently came to Forbes' attention.

On 9 March, Ismaik's company and Egypt's defense ministry, then headed by El-Sisi, signed an agreement to construct one million housing units across Egypt. 

This is not the only construction project the defense ministry, that has been led by the army's commander-in-chief, signed with Gulf-based companies.
