Washington Works On Stopping Egyptian Aid
Informed sources revealed that the US government is pressurizing Arab countries not to grant Egypt any aid.
The American government and the Western ones are withholding the aid they were promised to grant Egypt after the revolution.
According to the source, this can be attributed to the failure of the Military Council to form a Salvation Government headed by Mohamed El-Baradei after Mohamed Mahmoud Street clashes that resulted in the death of 40 citizens.
The joint Egyptian-Turkish naval maneuvers dubbed “Sea of Friendship” caused a great concern to the Israeli government, which also added to the tension in the American-Egyptian relations.
Foreign sources assumed that the raid on NGOs in Egypt, is SCAF’s response to the economic pressure exerted on the Egyptian government. The Military Council wants to send a message that if America uses the aid as a pressure tool, they can prevent political activists supported by American funding from carrying out their tasks.

SCAF is luring us into resorting to violence so that they can manipulate people as much as they can. We must never give them this opportunity. We are much stronger when we rely on peaceful protests.
I am really angry with the people who keep telling us to wait and give SCAF another chance!
They can arrest, humiliate, strip, or smear the reputation of Egyptian women but we will still take our rights from them. Egyptian women are a red line!

It's a dangerous precedent when you're a stubborn defender of rights, but only for those who agree with you politically.

So once again, the very concept of rights is that we have them because we're human. They aren't bestowed upon us. They are intrinsic.
The moment you start to pick & choose who has rights and who doesn't, you deny the universal and intrinsic nature of these rights.
So if you don't call to #Free Maikel Nabil because he's a "zionist", you don't really believe in fundamental rights. Also, you're a douche bag.

People are surprised that I supported a fair trial for Abo Yehia, who is facing a military trial over his involvement in Imbaba clashes; however I tell them that my principle remains the same. No one should be subject to an exceptional trial.
Monasosh
Why in this specific case of Abo Yehia did people believe SCAF lies about him?
Military trials for civilians almost stopped, yet thousands of victims are still lying in prisons waiting for a chance of an appeal that proves they are innocent.
