i mean, you know, mr lammy was doing a lot, but i always believed this was a waste of time to talk toster, the egyptian foreign minister. the real... it's about sisi. well, let me, then, if i may... i understand, i mean, sisi, like mubarak before him, was a general who threw away the military uniform to don the dark suit of a civilian president. because you became a civil society activist, i mean, sisi won re—election not so very long ago with 89% of the vote. a meaningful election or not. but his strength, his domination he's a very transactional man. the egyptian authorities show thick skin. and they were released. sisi, like any smart dictator, uses the things at his disposal as tools. i think we didn't have any british government but husbands of a citizen, things like that, as a priority, they managed to negotiate a deal. to set an example. so he used him to keep him in prison. politically, sisi does not need alaa to stay in prison. history has passed. a decade has passed. concerned with, such as, like, the economic crisis, the push for displacement, all of these things. really in
