Sami Hafez Enan ( Arabic سامى حافظ عنان, DMG Sāmī Ḥāfiẓ ʿAnān , born February 2, 1948 in Fajjum ) is an Egyptian military man with the rank of lieutenant general . At that time (in October 2011) he was Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Egypt . He was also a member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces , which ruled Egypt in the course of the revolution in Egypt in 2011 until it was replaced by the civil government of Morsi.

Life

From January 24-30, 2011, the week that the 2011 revolution began in Egypt , Sami Hafez Enan was in the United States for a meeting at the Pentagon .

On October 1, 2011, Sami Hafez Enan approved an amendment to the election law for the 2011 parliamentary elections . After that, that passage of text is said to have been deleted, according to which part of the parliamentary seats would be awarded to independent candidates that were not defined in more detail. He also presented a timetable for the transfer of power to a civilian leadership.

On January 2, 2013, Sami Hafez Enan fled to Saudi Arabia with his family . The reason for this is presumed to be the content of a completed investigation report, in which the names of the officers who campaigned for a counterrevolution and the names of those responsible for the bloody suppression of protests during the time of the military government are supposed to be included.
