U.S. to withhold $130 mln of military aid to Egypt over human rights -official

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has determined that Cairo, by releasing hundreds of jailed individuals, had made some progress on political detentions and due process, the officials said. Rights groups have pushed for withholding all of a $300 million portion of aid to Egypt placed under conditions by the U.S. Congress.

Cairo will receive another $95 million under a statutory exception related to counterterrorism, border security and non-proliferation funding, State Department officials said. Seth Binder, director of advocacy at the Project on Middle East Democracy, a U.S.-based campaign group, said the U.S. claim Egypt has made progress was belied by the continued detention of political prisoners.

Interesting. Saudi Arabia, nothing. Biden visits there and fist bumps the king who ordered that poor journalist’s awful murder. Gas prices lower all of a sudden. Coincidence? Doubt it.

They should give Ukraine this money, it needs it more to defend itself.

Wrong, because of BRICS!

fk egypt

One might say finally as the Sisi regime makes Mubarak or especially Morsi look positively libertarian or ACLU types in comparison

Look who is talking?

Congratulations to Egypt? Recall US often intendedly and wrongly accused China of the same decades of years ago, but with the booming of the country.

WHY THE FUCK ARE WE GIVING MILITARY AID TO A COUNTRY LIKE EGYPT?!?

'Human rights' has become the US State Department code word for anything other than human rights.

人权不好，不是更要投入改善吗？ 这个借口，在不断消耗美国的软实力

Egypt? Come on man

And the Saudi's get a nice basket of fruit.

But we’re giving over $3Billion to Afghanistan !

Damn Putin is right US is desperate cause of inflation

Ditching Egypt already for your assumed “New Powerhouse” in the HOA-Kenya? Try other convincing foreign policies and strategies that is based on mutual interest and respect with the whole African countries rather than a neocolonial approach.

But another billion to Ukraine! Yay 'democracy'!

It seems to create another war zones, Once more weapons are produced, a war zones will be manufactured to sell weapons.

Na it’s cuz their SCO status

Why TF were we giving any aid to Egypt? Isn't Egypt oil rich?
