Education

Amer became the First Lady of Egypt upon her husband's appointment as the President of Egypt after the June 2013 Egyptian protests; which pushed for a military coup throwing Mohamed Morsi out of power. Judge Adly Mansour was appointed as an acting president during the transitional period from 3 July 2013 to 7 June 2014. Then, el-Sisi won the presidential election that was held afterward, and took the oath of office on 8 June 2014.
Corruption allegation
An Egyptian who was formerly a military contractor, Mohamed Ali, alleged that Entissar Amer was part of "rampant corruption" involving military officials and Sisi's relatives. Street protests took place in response to Ali's claims about Amer and her husband.
