History and profile[edit][edit]
The modern Egyptian Communist Party was formed in 1975 by a number of members of the former Egyptian Communist Party. Under the regimes of Presidents Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak the new Communist Party faced state repression and was barred from running in elections.The party however continued to operate underground until the overthrow of Mubarak in 2011. Despite having ECP members allegedly killed and imprisoned under Mubarak, the party have since been involved in mobilizing workers in 2011. Egyptian Communist Party flags in Tahrir Square.
On 10 May 2011, the ECP agreed to enter into a "socialist front" with four other Egyptian leftist groups called the Coalition of Socialist Forces, which includes the Revolutionary Socialists, the Socialist Popular Alliance Party, Socialist Party of Egypt and the Workers Democratic Party. It also joined the National Salvation Front.
The party maintains association with China. In a 2021 interview with Salah Adli, the general secretary for the Egyptian Communist Party, thanked China for playing its vital role in developing countries, including Arab nations like Egypt. [1]More, the party also maintains ties with Vietnam, as members of the ECP met with a reporter at the Communist Review in late 2022. Both groups wanted to grow their relationship and maintain communication channels that allow mutual support between the groups. [2] The CIA also alleges ties between the ECP and Russia through Michel Kamil, a journalist and ECP leader. [3]
