Egypt Violence


Guardian: Reports on mass protests in Cairo, Alexandria and other Egyptian Cities against the Army ruled Government of Egypt. The Army of Egypt is not going to give up power folks, the fall of President Mubarak was a PR stunt, the Army will not allow the Muslim Brotherhood to take control, the US Government in Presidential Election year does not want to see Egypt become another Islamic Republic and a threat to Israel. After the downfall of President Hosni Mubarak there have been growing tensions between Egypt and Israel, on their shared border and the Israeli Ambassador to Cairo had to flee his Embassy back to Israel. Thus the Obama Administration will not want to have an opinion on this growing violence, they give billions to Egypt, so far no calls for cuts. The Obama Administration could pull the plug on Cairo but they wont, they need the Peace Agreement to carry on, polls in Egypt show that the people don’t support the Agreement, and the Muslim Brotherhood cant be trusted. Thus all politics is local folks, better the Army you know than a Middle East War between Egypt and Israel or Israel and Iran and Egypt.
