The world’s largest democracy is collapsing before our eyes

Modi's visit to Egypt was a timely gesture to mark the country's growing ties. Egypt and India are both facing similar obstacles, and both Modi and Sisi have had similar tracks in politics. The Indian-Egyptian relationship will reap positive benefits for both countries, as the warm reception Modi received has shown the mutual desire for growth and cooperation.
Besides the fact that Egypt is a repressive dictatorship under Sisi, it is poorly run, and its economic prospects are only going down. Inflation has been raging as food prices skyrocket. Sisi has been making desperate moves to fix the nightmare he has created, such as looking for foreign investment. However, the writing is on the wall: the future of Egypt under Sisi is not bright, and no amount of photo ops with Modi can change that.
