Trump's nod gives Egypt's Gen Sissi the go ahead to launch terror on his people

[Naheed Janjua]

General Al Sisi’s intent to maintain his brutal crackdown on dissidents was likely bolstered by a perceived change of attitude of the United States with the rise of President Donald J. Trump, who is expected to prioritize counter-terrorism over respect for human rights.

In a telephone conversation this week, Mr. Trump promised General Al-Sisi, who met the president in New York in September and was the first Muslim head of state to congratulate him on his election victory, that the United States was committed to supporting Egypt in its fight against political violence.

There is a difference between dissidents and terrorist..in egypt..dissidents are all part of MB and ISIS

every autocractic government in the world including russia and china will use this opportunity under counter terrorism to clamp down on genuine dissidence.

Shouldn't terrorise own people. Shouldn't wage a war on own people. If Gen. Sissi does that, it would be end of Egypt as we know it.

the end of Egypt has already happened and with western acquiesces when they removed democratically elected morsi.

I'm not a supporter of political islam as it stands today...it's simply a tool being used to take advantage of ppl.

As such, I can't stand the MB, but it's still dangerous to include MB and ISIS in the same breath. They are miles apart in their modus operandi.
