Disregarding Human Rights Concerns, US Resumes Arm Shipments To Egypt
2.4.15
Disregarding Human Rights Concerns, US Resumes Arm Shipments To Egypt: A White House statement described how President Obama spoke with Egyptian President Abdelfattah al-Sisi and said that despite “continued imprisonment of non-violent activists and mass trials” in Egypt, he would lift “executive holds that have been in place since October 2013 on the delivery of F-16 aircraft, Harpoon missiles, and M1A1 tank kits.” In addition, Obama assured al-Sissi that he will continue to request an annual $1.3 billion in military assistance for Egypt.
The move comes as Egypt has joined with Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations to launch airstrikes, and possibly a ground invasion, of Yemen—a development which is further destabilizing a region in which ongoing conflicts are now underway in Libya, Syria, Iraq, and many places in between.
