President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi "putting up for sale" on the auction site eBay.

Ebay advertisement:
"For sale on eBay, Field Marshal, Doctor of Philosophy with a military background, decent condition, current bid $100 301."
The "seller" wrote that Sisi had been "used by the previous owners [Gulf royal families]," and that shipping would free.
The page was later removed.

"By almighty God, if I could sell myself [to benefit the nation], I would have done it,'' he said in an address broadcast on state television, in which he revealed a plan for economic growth.Shortly afterwards, the eBay page was created. Within a few hours, the bidding was at more than $100 000.
The advertisement read:
 "For sale on eBay, Field Marshal, Doctor of Philosophy with a military background, decent condition, current bid $100 301."
The "seller" wrote that Sisi had been "used by the previous owners [Gulf royal families]," and that shipping would free.
The page was later removed.
The president angrily listed the country’s economic problems before asking Egyptians to donate an Egyptian pound, which is about 10 US cents, to a government fund.
He went on to say that what he called unfair criticism of his government could help those trying to topple him.
"Please, do not listen to anyone but me. I am dead serious," he said in a loud voice.
"Be careful, no one should abuse my patience and good manners to bring down the state," he said, adding that he would "remove from the face of the Earth" anyone plotting to bring down the government. 
Disjointed
Some on Twitter felt the speech was disjointed.
Sisi's government has faced tough criticism in recent weeks over alleged police brutality and other rights abuses, as well as its handling of the economy.
But Sisi said Egypt was going to be a democracy in 20 to 25 years, a statement that many on Twitter soon began to pick apart.
As military chief, Sisi led a coup in 2013 against former Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first freely-elected president, whose divisive rule prompted protests.
But critics say he has done little to distinguish his rule from that of Morsi, particularly with regard to freedom of expression.
Rights groups have compared his rule to that of former President Hosni Mubarak, who in 2011 was himself toppled by a popular uprising driven largely by anger at police brutality.
