The Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is currently on a three-day visit to France, underscoring the close alliance between Cairo and Paris. The Egyptian leader says both nations wish to push their strategic relations further. But not everyone is pleased to see these two men standing side by side.

Is President Macron being too lenient on his Egyptian guest with regard to this issue of human rights?
