"US-Egyptian relations on the rocks. El-Sisi wouldn’t accept Obama’s phone call
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report August 15, 2013, 3:03 PM (IDT)
When the clashes between Egyptian security forces and pro-Morsi protesters were at their peak in Cairo Wednesday, Aug. 14 – 525 dead and 3,700 wounded to date - President Barack Obama put in a call to Egypt’s strongman, Defense Minister Gen. Abdel-Fattah El-Sissi, debkafile’s intelligence sources report. The US president wanted to give the general a dressing-down much on the lines of the call he made to former president Hosni Mubarak in February 2011 at the high point of the Arab Spring Tahrir Sq demonstrations against his rule, namely: Stop repressing the protesters and firing live ammunition. Step down! When Mubarak asked for a three or four days’ grace to break up the massed rally, Obama shot back that he has to quit NOW!
And indeed, on Feb. 11, the army announced the president’s resignation.
Realizing what was coming, Gen. El-Sissi decided not to accept President Obama’s call, our sources report. "...
Good thing Barry endorsed and forced regime change in Egypt, what a wonderful result!
I wonder how much longer it will be before the rest of the region falls in to chaos, Libya isn't fairing much better.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
