Egypt’s el-Sissi’s comical crave for popular mandate- Aliyu Musa But we live in a world where hypocrisy is unremittingly prescribed, administered and fully supported by the powers that be. Despite endless rhetoric about democracy, liberalism and human rights we see the exact opposite promoted by those who vocalize it most. And for the first time in our recent history those who hastily sanction ‘rogue’ regimes pretend not to recognize one that glaringly divulges all the features. And here is General el-Sissi deviously exploiting this naked two-facedness to the fullest and at the expense of his people and country. When the Algerian violence began the world looked the other way and offhandedly traded off more than 100,000 unfortunate lives. Long before the Rwandan genocide indications ominously gazed at us, but, again, it did not matter if nearly one million impoverished Africans lived or died. So, the same cruel pretentiousness had an overriding effect. And now even as global as we pretend to be no efforts are made to stop Egypt’s reckless derail.
