I like Al-Sisi - he seems to be genuine, and could be the answer we have been looking for to stabilize the mid-east and northern Africa. With Egypt spearheading a NATO-like force and put down the Iran led radicals.
I’ve liked him in particular since Christmas when he attended a Christmas worship service at the Christian Coptic cathedral, addressing the packed church and vowed he would protect the Christian Egyptians. That, in that part of the world, takes guts!!
“Egypt is destitute.”.
If that is true, where are they getting funding for the second Suez canal being built and expected to be completed by August of this year?
I like him too. The reasons you gave are reasons obama will undermine him.
