El-Sissi’s visit highlights Moscow’s attempts to expand its influence in Egypt at a time when Egyptian-U.S. relations have soured in the aftermath of the ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
Opening the talks in the Kremlin on Wednesday, el-Sissi said “the Egyptian people” are hoping for broader ties with Russia in all areas, particularly in fighting terrorism in the Middle East.
Putin and el-Sissi are also expected to hammer out the details of a joint project to build Egypt’s first nuclear power station.
Putin unlike Obama doesnt sympathize with Jew killers.
Obama has dissed Sissi so he is going to Putin for help. Instead of strenghtening an Israel Egypt Saudi alliance against Iran Obama seeks to strengthen Iran and destablization of the Middle East.
