CAIRO: Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Egypt Sunday on a surprise visit, becoming the highest-ranking US official to visit since President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi came to power.
Kerry was to meet Sisi during a lightning trip to press the former army chief to address fears of a crackdown on dissent, warning Washington was concerned about Cairo’s “polarising tactics”.
A government crackdown has left more than 1,400 people dead and seen at least 15,000 jailed since the military ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.
