  10. A better example of neo-colonial arrogance could hardly be found. The news media of the global hedgemon, mired in two bloody slogs in Afghanistan and Iraq, are chastizing Egypt for it's not quite kosher domestic behavior. A morally bankrupt and totally misguided hit peice.

  12. Mind your own business. We Egyptian don't need your help spreading awareness. We know our President and trust me if most of us don't want him he'll leave just like the previous Presidents. So, please mind your own business.

  13. How many political prisoners do we have at Gitmo, Scott Pelley?

    What about the Obama administration on human rights concerning drones?

    Self-righteous, virtue signaling hypocrite.

    These one-sided yellow journalistic interviews is exactly why I don’t watch 60 Minutes anymore. True and fair journalism is dead in this nation.

  14. Egypt will not kneel and will not fall, despite all the West’s plans and the spreading of lies and rumours

    Egypt will soar despite the haters' noses. The name Egypt has been mentioned many times in the Qur’an, the Book of God. Long live Egypt

  17. Sisi is such an idiot him asking to delete the interview only confirmed how scared he is and how much he wants to hide the truth. This was beautifully humiliating and inspiring for me to become a journalist.
    ps it was not 800 people in rabha massacre it was about 2000

  19. This is true and he termed around the law and prison people with other causes like designing any insidents to Gail activist and old administration people and he use medical assassination with people, and political assassination plus he use the stocks of LSD with women and children to use them in his and Russian war it is Cold 3rd world war and he got financial support from Gulf union to fool and get support with corruption in neighbor Alies countries

  20. President Sisi is the man holding Egypt together. He is a fair peace loving man and without him every evil terrorist group would try to harm Egypt. My fellow Americans need to take this segment with a huge grain of salt.
