Egyptians make fun of Biden for referring to Sisi as “president of Mexico”

The US President Joe Biden made a funny mistake by calling the Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi “the president of Mexico“.

President Biden said that at first, the president of Mexico, Sisi, did not want to let humanitarian materials go into Gaza. He said this during a press conference on Thursday when talking about the fighting between Israel and Gaza.

The president of Mexico is named Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Egyptians have given President al-Sisi the nickname “El Meksiki” which means “The Mexican” to avoid censorship.

“You can’t freely say negative things about the president in Egypt. That’s why some people started calling him ‘El Meksiki’ (‘the Mexican’ in Arabic) because it sounds like ‘al-Sisi’ and this way they can criticize him without getting censored,” one person explained on X (formerly Twitter).

In the US, people are worried about President Biden’s health and ability to think clearly. But the President says he is fit to do his job.
