Military Madness in Cairo
Keywords:
Tags:
The New York Times editorial on the violent military action against Morsi protest camps near Cairo University on August 14. NYT calls for cutting off the $1.3 billion in aid to Egypt. Baradei, Morsi, and the moderates are seen as complicit in letting the military take advantage of the split in the political parties through their failure to reach a compromise on constitutional and other issues. NYT calls it a foreign policy disaster for the U.S. and a tragedy for Egypt to return to military rule. U.S. president Obama is seen as having shown lack of leadership for both Egypt and Syria. The likely conclusion being that the low key approach has failed and the opportunity for a more peaceful Middle East focussed on improving the living conditions of the people in the region has been lost through inaction.

The NYT'S journalists Kirkpatrick and El Shaikh on the days and events leading to the ouster of president Morsi of Egypt by protesters and the military
11/26/2011
The Muslim Brotherhood and president Morsi forged an alliance with the military under Gen. Sissi and liberals under ElBaradei leading to the election of Morsi as president in 2012. Gen. Sissi makes repeated efforts to get Morsi to form an inclusive government that gives liberals a voice in the government and policy. When this fails street protests from younger protesters who initiated the first protests at Tahrir Square against Mubarak, liberals, and others opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood, gain the support of Gen. Sissi, who abandons president Morsi. Kirkpatrick and El Shaikh give a detailed account of the events.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
