Abdel Fattah el-Sisi made his first speech as Egypt's president to promise to "defeat terrorism", saying that security is a priority and that he has no time for reconciliation with opponents.
Hours after his inauguration on Sunday, the former army general said there would be a new era for all except those who "turn to crimes and violence".
"Defeating terrorism and achieving security is the top priority," said Sisi, adding there would be "no leniency and truce with those who resort to violence. I am looking to a new era built on reconciliation and tolerance ... except with those who committed crimes or used violence as a tool. I am saying clearly that those who shed the blood of the innocent and killed ... the sons of Egypt, they don't have a place".
Sisi rose to power after deposing the Brotherhood-backed Mohamed Morsi from the presidency last year on a wave of popular protest. The Brotherhood has since been designated a "terrorist organisation" by authorities.
Sisi also promised new tourists resorts, industrial redevelopment and more jobs, but gave no further information on how these would be created.
