Egypt is one, if not the only country in Africa with such strategic position. Strategic in the sense that Egypt is an African nation and an Arab/Middle-Eastern nation. At the same time for a number of years now or decades, Egypt has the headquarters of the Arab world. As a result of that, majority of the crisis in the middle east most times cannot be resolved fully without the input of Egypt in most cases. So Egypt is very strategic to Africa and to the middle east. CCTV spoke to a senior research fellow in Nigeria to get another perspective of Xi Jinping's visit to Egypt and what it will mean for the continent.
