For years Western govts condemned the repression & violence visited on Egyptians by their govt. Many of those same govts have continued to send assistance to Cairo, sell weapons to Egypt & invite Sisi to state visits in their capitals while refusing to condition support on rights
Macron criticized human rights violations shortly before awarding Sisi, said rights violator, his nation's highest honor all while rejecting calls that he condition support on human rights
Actions like these aren't a mixed signal they're a clear signal
