nsnbc : French President Francois Hollande met Egyptian President Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi on Sunday and is scheduled to meet the Speaker of Egypt’s Parliament Ali Abdel Aal and other lawmakers on Monday. Hollande’s visit takes place against the backdrop of complex French – Egyptian relations and French Mediterranean Basin ambitions which don’t always jibe with Paris’ Atlantic Axis partners.
Business First – President Francois Hollande arrived in the Egyptian capital Cairo accompanied by a high-profile delegation of more than 80 French businesspersons. Egypt’s House of Representatives will receive French President Francois Hollande Monday during his three-day visit to Cairo, The Cairo Post & Youm7 reported.
On Sunday Hollande and President Al-Sisi witnessed the signing of 18 cooperation agreements in fields of military, transportation and energy and with an estimated worth of 1.8 billion Euros ($2.03 billion.), reports The Cairo Post.
Egypt has, under the presidency of Al-Sisi, built and opened the New Suez Canal last year. It opens new port facilities, develops free trade and industrial zones, and moreover, Egypt’s Suez Canal and related infrastructure is bound to become increasingly important for France and the EU.
One reason for this is that the supply of hydrocarbons for the energy-hungry EU via the Middle East as well as via the Ukraine has become increasingly volatile. Moreover, Mozambique is poised to become the world’s second-largest exporter of liquefied natural gas by around 2020. Paris, most definitely, wants a piece of Egypt’s Mediterranean Cake and Egypt is not exactly short of partners, such as Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, among many others.
France and Spain are the primary forces behind the push for the establishment of the Mediterranean Basin Alliance. Ironically, the French “Mediterranean Basin Alliance” ambitions are considered as “one” of the main reasons for why former French President Sarkozy went along with the primarily Israeli, Qatari, British, and US’ led initiative to “overthrow Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi with the help of “rebels”.
It is a policy that has backfired for France and the EU, and Egypt is an important European partner, should France and Europe try to stem the flow of refugees and radicals. In fact, the British and US’ attempt to change the demographics of Europe and to create crisis and unrest similar to that in Yugoslavia has been forecast by many, and years in advance.
The book by investigative journalist and author Ashish Shukla, entitled “How United States Shot Humanity – Muslims Ruined, Europe Next” is an excellent starting point for those who are seriously interested in the issue.
It is no great surprise then, that British and US-American media would make entire articles out of a few words Francois Hollande “had to say” about the affair surrounding the death of the Italian Student Giulio Regeni, who, also to no great surprise, had close ties to The American University in Cairo, whose list of alumni includes prominent personalities such as CIA Director John Brennan and New York Times “columnist” Thomas Friedman.
