Egypt’s President Sisi has arrived in Astana for a two-day visit and speculation is rife that Kazakhstan may be pondering a bid for the leader who offered to sell himself for the good of Egypt on 24 February.
“If it were possible for me to be sold, I would sell myself,” President Sisi said in a speech on state television.
Immediately, a spoof page appeared on Ebay and bids quickly reached $100,000. The page was subsequently taken down.
“It’s not so unusual that leaders from one country go on to advise other countries – look at Tony Blair and Mikheil Saakashvili,” kazaxia’s politics expert Gary Kefali said today. “But with bidding having already reached $100,000, I think that in the current economic climate, this secondhand leader would be overpriced.”
Kazaxia went down to Carrefour supermarket in Almaty to get the public’s views on this move.
“I think that he [President Sisi] has done a great job in Egypt to ensure stability and unity,” said Nurik, a pensioner doing his weekly shop in the cut-price hypermarket. “$100,001 would be a fair price to bring his expertise to bear on our continued stability here and maybe get these carrots cleaned up.”
President Sisi is thought to be the first Egyptian leader to visit Astana since Tutankhamun visited in 1325 BC.

Great Post. Imagine being in the footsteps of Tutankhamun.
