Republican senator: Sisi 'the right man at the right time'

A delegation of American Republicans visiting Cairo on Sunday said that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was the "right man at the right time" for Egypt, AFP reported.

The six-member delegation, led by Senator Lindsey Graham, said it backed Sisi in the fight against the jihadist Islamic State (ISIS) group, though it was cautious when asked to respond to growing accusations of human rights violations committed by Egyptian security forces.
