| In a country battling both ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood, where the soldiers' guns and sandles are both held together by duct tape, they're going to build a nuclear power plant, with the requirements fior security and precise operation and maintenance. |
The reports Monday came after Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi met with Russian President Vladimir Putin
...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead...in China, where they were attending a summit.
The nuclear plant will be built in Dabaa, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) northwest of Cairo on the Mediterranean coast.
Egypt's presidency says el-Sissi has invited Putin to Egypt to mark the start of construction.
In 2015, Egypt signed an agreement with Russia to build a four-reactor power plant. It will receive a $25 billion Russian loan to cover 85 percent of the plant, with a capacity of 4,800 MW.
