Sisi's war on terror

The features of the new coup regime and the aim of the new megalomanic of Egypt are by now clear.  The attempt to steal from the aura of Nasser is comical if not tragic and murderous.  Western media, still suffering from Cold War the of Nasser, refer to Nasser as dictator.  In one day Sisi killed more than the Nasser's regime in its entirety.  There was no such mass shooting under Nasser.   And you look at the Western media and you see casual justifications of the mass shooting.  No calls in the Western media for arming the Ikhwan as they do in the case of Syria. Egyptian liberals and some leftists and some Nasserists there are walking to the scaffold head high and under heavy dosage of delusions as those communists who aligned themselves with Khomeini. Look at this sample of description, nay justification, of the shooting: "The clashes started in the late evening of Friday when protesters from the Rabea al-Adaweya sit-in marched toward the October Six Bridge and started blocking its entrance on Nasr Street, eyewitnesses said. The police intervened and fired tear gas to disperse them. Clashes started shortly after, with birdshot and live ammunition used."
