The world is unpredictable, and international relations are changing rapidly. Just today, Egypt's Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Turkey's Erdogan held a shocking meeting in Cairo, announcing the opening of a new chapter in relations between the two countries. Isn't this an earth-shattering piece of news? Let's review this magnificent history and everything that happened today, after all!
Back in 2013, when Egypt's new Mohammed Morsi came to power, everyone thought that Egypt would usher in a new wave of democracy. However, it didn't take long for this tide to be shattered by a coup d'état, which was led by Sisi, then Minister of Defense. Morsi** was overthrown, and Egypt returned to the bosom of military rule. This coup d'état not only caused an uproar in Egypt, but also had a huge impact on the political landscape of the Middle East.
However, the coup did not only stir up waves within Egypt. After the coup d'état, Erdogan, as an ally of Morsi, expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Sisi regime. As a result, the relationship between the two has reached a freezing point, and Erdogan has publicly vowed never to speak to Sisi.
The contradiction behind it is not just a personal grudge between the leaders of the two countries, but also a deeper reason for the differences in the political positions of the two countries. Morsi has the support of the Muslim Brotherhood behind him, while the Sisi regime is dominated by the military. The confrontation between these two forces has become the leitmotif of Egyptian politics, and it has also made the relationship between Erdogan and Sisi more tense.
However, time flies, and ten years have passed. In today's Middle East, tensions are growing. Israel's war in Gaza has engulfed the entire region in flames, and Egypt, as an important country in the Middle East, is also facing unprecedented challenges. As an important city in the Gaza Strip, Rafah will bring a huge security threat and humanitarian crisis to Egypt once it is attacked by Israeli military forces.
Against this background, Erdogan made a surprise visit to Egypt and met with Sisi, announcing the opening of a new chapter in relations between the two countries. This move not only means reconciliation between the leaders of the two countries, but also a positive response to the situation in the Middle East. During the meeting, Erdogan expressed strong criticism of Israel's military actions and called on the international community not to sit idly by, which shows Turkey's determination to stand on the same front as Egypt.
And from a broader perspective, the normalization of relations between Turkey and Egypt also means that the political landscape in the Middle East may change significantly. The cooperation between the two countries will inject new impetus into regional peace and stability and provide new opportunities for resolving many contradictions and problems in the Middle East. This news will undoubtedly cause a sensation in the international community, and it will also fill us with expectations and hopes for the future.
To sum up, the announcement of Erdogan and Sisi to open a new chapter in the relations between the two countries is not only a reconciliation between the two countries, but also a major change in the situation in the Middle East. Let us all hope that this historic meeting will inject new vitality into regional peace and stability and open a new chapter in the development of the Middle East.
