"Do you not know that you are the light of my eyes or what?"

A cartoonist has gained rapid popularity on Egyptian social media after posting a series of light-hearted emojis capturing the country's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in different moods. But his fans fear his creations will get him into trouble with the authorities.

President Sisi's speeches have often been ridiculed online, especially because of the manner in which he speaks - very softly and emotionally. But this time he has received a more creative treatment by the cartoonist, Safie Eddeen.

The 24-year-old artist has used quotes by the Egyptian president, which have often triggered funny memes on social media, and attached them to variations of the president's face. These totally unofficial emojis only currently exist as images rather than anything you could add to a text or comment with.

One of the emojis shows a smiley President Sisi wearing shades alongside his famous phrase: "Do you not know that you are the light of my eyes or what?" Another laughing Sisi is coupled with the line "Egypt rejoices", which was used as part of the campaign promoting the opening of the New Suez Canal project.
