Sisi has been in office barely 100 days, and already brokered the cease fire between Hamas and Israel. Yet the Obama administration petulantly refuses to meet with him during the course of his first trip to the US as President of Egypt. Impossible. The US administration then decided that it would like to spare itself the headache of being criticized for meeting El-Sisi. This criticism would not have come, as the same sources indicate, on the basis that El-Sisi was seen in some Western quarters last year as the head of a military intervention to ouster an elected president, but rather because he is seen as an undemocratic president whose rule is compromising human rights. english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/111245/Egypt/Politics-/President-ElSisi-is-consolidating-his-regime,-say-.aspx
