Gen. El-Sisi and President Obama viewed on Egyptian street
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report Aug 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, Gen. Abdel-Fattah El-Sissi, debkafile reports. The general refused to accept the call, anticipating a scolding like the one which forced Hosni Mubarak to quit. The harsh international condemnation of Gen. El-Sissi’s crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood – led by Washington – will exacerbate the crisis by pushing both sides to greater extremes.
