                Top US Diplomat Makes Unannounced Visit to Cairo

   by VOA News

   U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has made a previously unannounced
   visit to Egypt for talks with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.
   Kerry arrived in Cairo Sunday for the highest-level meeting with the
   new Egyptian leader since the country's presidential election.
   The U.S. has expressed concern about a strong crackdown on dissent
   since Mr. Sissi first took power as the country's military chief last
   July, ousting the Muslim Brotherhood.
   The crackdown has left hundreds of people dead and thousands of others
   have been imprisoned since the military took power from Brotherhood
   leader Mohamed Morsi.
   The government has since outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood and sentenced
   hundreds of its members and other protesters to death in trials that
   lasted only a few hours.
   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
