President Obama has invited Egypt's president to the first ever US-Africa Leaders Summit next month despite lingering concerns about the country's human-rights record, Al-Monitor has learned.
Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah al-Sisi received a written invitation from the US president earlier this week, an Egyptian official said. A US source confirmed that Egypt had been invited, even as the White House continued to publicly assert that it had yet to make up its mind.
