Description

EGYPT, Cairo: Protesters hold banners against Egypt's decision to cede sovereignty over two Red Sea islands, Sanafir and Tiran, to Saudi Arabia on April 13, 2016 in Cairo, before the syndicate of journalists building. Online, many Egyptians have accused their once-popular President, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, of giving up land to curry favor with the Saudis. On Twitter, the hashtag I feel like selling what to Saudi Arabia trended on April 12, 2016 with commentators suggesting Egypt flog everything from self-serving lawmakers to President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi himself.
