America's Interests in Egypt
Keywords:
Tags: Saudi Arabia, Turkey,
This WSJ editorial says the U.S. should use what little influence it has to prevent Egypt from descending into civil war after the violent crackdown on protester camps in Cairo on August 14, 2013 by the Egyptian military. It says that continuing military aid will not be politically possible if the violence continues. A separate comment by Marc Lynch of the George Washington University Institute for Middle East Studies in online Foreign Policy magazine, says the Gulf States will make up for U.S. aid and the important thing is for the U.S. to be credible in the region in the long run.

The Muslim Brotherhood after the July 2013 coup in Egypt following street protests by liberals- discussion within the Brotherhood and the political quandary for the U.S.
11/26/2011
The questions raised by Muslim Brotherhood leaders in the Arab world range from discussion about the errors in governing Egypt without reaching out to other groups, to a sense that the west will never accept the Muslim Brotherhood in government. The latter vew cites the military coup in 1952 following similar protests in Egypt and the annullment of elections won by Islamist parties in Algeria in 1992, and the futility of voting in elections. Islamist parties participate in Tunisia and Libyan politics and government and in government in Turkey, and the U.S. limits itself to a constructive role for all parties, which makes the situation very different today.

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.
