NUWEIBA, Egypt — Braced by a calm, crisp breeze off the Red Sea, Bedouin Sheik Sleiman El-Sakhan, leader of the south Sinai's Muzainah tribe, offers tea in an outdoor spot beneath trees and speaks optimistically about the future.
"We do a good job at keeping the land secure but we can't do anything without the Egyptian government," El-Sakhan says of the roughly dozen tribes that sprawl Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. "I don't understand who is managing the country now."
