Most of you know i have always had my reservations with foreign NGOs meddling into the affairs of sovereign states. We all know Egypt is pound for pound the most powerful nation in Africa. It has the strongest military and second largest economy after Nigeria.

So here we have the leader of the most powerful African state on a state visit to France. He is given the usual reception visiting heads of states receive. Then a bunch of NGOs came together to denounce the President of a sovereign African state during his visit to France.

They go after President Macron saying he is wrong to have a meeting with President El sisi because he is a dictator and should not be recognized by a democratic republic like France. They gather outside the French Parliament chanting hang the dictator.

You know what's sad in all of this? Libya, which is now a failed state is next door to Egypt. Egypt has every right to engage these leaders who have destroyed a country. Whatever happens in Libya impacts Egypt adversely.

Like Boko Haram the Sinai militants received a boost in cashes of arms after the fall of Libya. These NGOs are not protesting for the rights of the Libyans who have seen their once prosperous country turn into a sorry state that makes Afghanistan look like Sweden comparatively.

Imagine how traumatic this is for the people of Libya. Why are these NGOs not protesting against the $500 billion France rakes in annually from 14 francophone states in Colonial Taxes. These NGOs exist to weaken the ability of powerful African states to counter terrorism.

NGOs mission profile means they are of little relevance in stable prosperous societies. This means they are only in business when a country is in serious crises. They fund opposition groups and force the issue of Human Rights on any army going after terrorist groups.

Paul Biya. The worlds longest serving dictator who has been in power since 1982. He is 91 years old and cannot imagine life without power. Opposition leaders are detained, a genocide is ongoing in eastern Cameroon. He is a regular visitor. No NGOs to fight for the oppressed

Idris Derby of Chad. African second longest running dictator having held unto power for 30 years. Deby played a key role in escalating a bloody proxy war in Sudan much of which manifested itself in the Darfur crisis, and has resulted in gross atrocities.

He set South African troops in the Central African Republic for an ambush that resulted in the death of 13 South African troops. The South Africans retreat from the CAR Chadian forces move in and held sway, playing both sides until the Russians came in.

He Squandered Chads oil revenues to build patronage networks and coopt political opponents, neglecting the people of Chad, and now has an eye on Nigeria's hydrocarbon rich Lake Chad islands. He hopes to do this by covertly supporting Boko Haram, giving them sanctuary

in the hopes that someday Nigeria will implode, giving him the opportunity to make another run for those islands after the disastrous April 1983 incident that saw the Chadians retreating from Nigerian territory in embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Nigerian military.

How does he hold on to power then? You might ask. France and the United States continue propping him up, ensuring the longevity of the 30 year dictatorship for geopolitical reasons.

Enter Libyan warlord Marshal Khalifa Haftar who France is helping transform from a rogue warlord into a legitimate political actor, thereby encouraging his plans to conquer and rule the country as a whole.

Where are these NGOs? No where to be found. But a duly elected President of Egypt that finds itself pincered between Sinai militants and a Libya collapse somehow posses an existential threat to Human Rights on planet earth and deserved to be harrassed during a state visit?
