If you
thought the state visit by China’s President Xi Jinping was deeply unedifying,
much worse is to come.
In two weeks’ time, the red carpet will be rolled out
for President Sisi of Egypt.
Field
Marshal Sisi came to power after masterminding a bloody coup against a
democratically elected government.
More than 1,000 people were shot dead in
Rabaa Square in Cairo as they protested against the military takeover.
Following
the slaughter of pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square, it took Britain
more than 15 years to invite a Chinese president for a state visit.
Just two
years have passed since the Rabaa Square massacre.
Undoubtedly,
there will be street protests against this butchering field marshal.
I intend
to join them.
