Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sent off Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi with the "Rabia" gesture, which has become a symbol of protest against the military coup in Egypt in 2013. The coup was orchestrated by General el-Sisi, who ousted President Mohamed Morsi. The "Rabia" gesture, which features a raised hand with four outstretched fingers, has become a symbol of resistance by Morsi supporters and protests against the new regime.
Erdogan's use of the gesture during his meeting with el-Sisi is intriguing and highlights the tensions in relations between Turkey and Egypt, despite moves to normalize diplomatic ties.
