Na Ariel Gold a me Medea Benjamin, Pepeluali 10, 2021
Ma lalo o ko Donald Trump pelekikena ʻana, ʻo ʻAigupita, a me Saudi Arabia, Israel, ka UAE, a me nā aupuni hoʻomāinoino ʻē aʻe, i noho aliʻi kūʻokoʻa ʻia e hana i nā hana kīnā ʻole kīnā ʻole ʻia o nā kānaka me ka hopohopo ʻole e hoʻopaʻi ʻia a lilo paha i kākoʻo kākoʻo diploma a US. Akā i ka lanakila ʻana o Joe Biden i ke koho balota 2020, ua hoʻomaka ka hopohopo o Pelekikena Sisi o ʻAigupita. ʻO ia ka manawa i ʻaelike ai i ka powerhouse lobbying ʻo Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck no $ 65,000 i ka mahina.
ʻO ka kime lobby pro-Cairo i loko o ka helu o nā mea kālaiʻāina mua, e like me ka ʻelele Republican mua ʻo Ed Royce, ka mea i alakaʻi i ke komite o ko nā ʻāina ʻē ʻē aʻe mai 2013-2018. ʻO ka agena PR weliweli loa no ke aupuni Aigupita, eia nō naʻe ʻO Nadeam Elshami, ke poʻokela o nā limahana o mua no ka Luna Kemokalaka Hale ʻo Nancy Pelosi. "He mea hiki ʻole ke noʻonoʻo ʻia kahi kanaka nāna i hoʻolilo kona mau makahiki ʻōpio i ʻAigupita, no ka ʻohana Muslim i kākoʻo i ka 2011 Arab Spring a he limahana Demokalaka nui ma ka US Congress e hoʻopau i ka lobbying no kahi aupuni i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, hoʻomāinoino a pepehi kanaka i ʻumi mau makahiki. he mau kaukani o ko ʻAigupita, "wahi a Mohamed Ismail o ko ʻAigupita ma waho no ka Temokalaka a puni ka honua.
Hoʻohanohano ʻo Brownstein i nā hana he nui, me ke kipaku ʻana i ka ʻAhaʻōlelo e loaʻa uku ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā mea lawe pio i mālama ʻia ma ʻIrana i 1979, ola hou Ua hao ʻia nā mea waiwai i ka wā o ka Armenian Genocide, e paʻa ana uku no nā mea hoʻomohala hale i pono e hoʻoliʻiliʻi asbestos mai nā pūnaewele pūʻali koa US mua, a mālama hoʻonui kālā no ka noiʻi maʻi ʻaʻai. ʻO ka hōʻike ʻana iā ʻAigupita ma lalo o Pelekikena Sisi ʻaʻole paha ia he mea e haʻaheo ai ʻo Browstein Hyatt Schreck.
I Iulai 2013, ua kāʻili ʻo Sisi i ka hoʻomalu ʻana iā ʻAigupita i kahi hoʻokahuli koa i lawe aku iā Mohammed Morsi, ke alakaʻi aupuni a ka lehulehu a ka lehulehu i koho ai i ka lehulehu. ʻO ka mahina aʻe, ma ʻAukake 14, kāna pūʻali koa luku ʻia ma kahi o 1,000 mau makaʻāinana e hana nei i kahi kūʻē maluhia ma Rabaa al-Adawiya Square. Ua kāhea aku ka luna hoʻomalu kiaʻi pono kanaka ʻo Kenneth Roth i ka luku nui ʻana iā Rabaa, "ʻo ia kekahi o nā hoʻomake ʻino loa o nā mea hōʻikeʻike i hoʻokahi lā i ka wā i hala aku nei," e kuhikuhi ana i ka hana ʻino i "hoʻolālā ʻia i nā pae kiʻekiʻe o ke kaiāulu o ʻAigupita." Ma waena o Iulai 2013 a Mei 2014, ʻAigupita nā mana aupuni hoʻopaʻa ʻia, hoʻopiʻi ʻia, a i ʻole hoʻopaʻi ʻia ma mua o 40,000 mau kānaka. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia - nā mea hōʻikeʻike, nā mea kūʻē, a me nā mea nūpepa - i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka hoʻokolokolo ʻole ʻia. Ua hoʻāʻo ʻia kekahi poʻe me ka hana ʻole a hoʻopaʻi ʻia ka make.
I ka makahiki 2015, noho aupuni ʻo Pelekikena Sisi me ka ʻole o ka pāremaka i koho ʻia, e hāʻawi ana iā ia iho i kahi ʻino loa no nā hoʻouka kaua āna i hana ai e kūʻē i nā pono kīvila a me ka politika. ʻO ka maikaʻi, ʻo nā loaʻa pono kīvila kanaka āpau i hoʻokō ʻia i ka wā 2011 Arab Spring i hoʻokahuli i ke aliʻi Egypttion ʻo Hosni Mubarak ua nalowale i ka wā i lilo ai ʻo Sisi. Ua hoʻomau ka noho aliʻi o Sisi i kēia mana me ko ʻAigupita e ʻike nei i ka hōʻino ʻana i nā pono kīvila kanaka a me ka wāwahi nui ʻana o ka lehulehu.
I ʻApelila 2019, ua hala ke aupuni o Sisi i nā hoʻololi kumukānāwai e ʻae ana i ke alakaʻi e noho i ka mana a hiki i 2030. I ka hāʻule o 2019, ua hoʻokumu nā luna ʻAigupita i kā lākou hana nui nui loa mai ka wā i hopu ai ʻo Sisi i ka mana ma 2013. Wahi a ʻO Amnesty International, ma luna o 2,300 mau kānaka, me nā keiki ʻoi aku ma mua o 111, i mālama ʻia i ka mālama ʻia ʻana i ka hopu ʻana a me ka hopu ʻia ʻana o nā poʻe kūʻē maluhia, nā mea nūpepa, nā loio o nā pono kanaka, nā luna politika, a me nā mea hoʻoulu politika. Ma Ianuali 13, 2020, he kamaʻāina ʻAmelika hānau ʻia ʻAigupita Mustafa Kassem i make ma hope o ʻeono mau makahiki o ka paʻa ʻana i ʻAigupita. Ua hopu ʻia ʻo Kassem i ʻAukake 2013 ma Cairo no ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana ua komo ʻo ia i nā kūʻē kūʻē iā Sisi. Ua ʻeha ʻo ia i ka hahau ʻana a ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻo ia i ka hoʻopaʻa pridialial no ʻelima mau makahiki a ʻoi ka hopena, me ke kaʻina ʻole, loaʻa ka ʻōlelo hoʻopaʻi no 15 mau makahiki.
ʻO ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19 i loaʻa exacerbated nā kūlana o ka hale paʻahao abysmal i ʻAigupita a me kā Sisi aupuni i hoʻohana ai i ka pilikia ma ke ʻano he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi noho mālie e ka poʻe loiloi a hoʻohana i ka hoʻopaʻa mua ʻia me ka nānā ʻole ʻia o ka hoʻokolokolo.
ʻO Egypt ʻĀkau ʻo ʻAigupita, kahi ʻāpana kanaka liʻiliʻi e pili ana i ka ʻIseraʻela a me ka ʻāina ʻo Gaza i noho ʻia e ʻIseraʻela, kahi hiʻohiʻona nui loa ia o ka hana ʻino kanaka o ka ʻāina. ʻO nā hoʻouka kaua a nā hui pūʻali, e pili pū ana me nā lālā o ISIS, i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ke aupuni ʻAigupita i hoʻomaka e ala aʻe ma hope o ka haunaele o 2011 Arab Spring akā ua hoʻonui nui ʻia ma hope o ka hoʻokahuli aupuni a Sisi ma 2013. Ma kahi o ka pale ʻana i nā kamaʻāina o Sinaina i kā lākou hakakā ʻana me ka pūʻali koa, ua hōʻike ka pūʻali koa Egypttion i ka hoʻowahāwahā loa i nā ola o nā kamaʻāina, e hoʻohuli ana i ko lākou ola i kēlā me kēia lā i kahi moeʻuhane nonstop o nā hana hoʻomāinoino, ʻO Michael Page, Luna Hoʻokele o Human Rights Watch no ka Middle East a me ʻApelika ʻĀkau.
Ke hana nei ka pūʻali koa ʻAigupita ma Sinai i ka hoʻomāinoino, dissapearances (me nā keiki e like me opiopio ma ke ʻano he 12), arbitrary mass nā hoʻopiʻi ʻana, pepehi kanaka extrajudicial, nā wāwahi home, curfews koʻikoʻi i hopena i ka nele i ka ʻai, a me nā ea a me nā hoʻouka kaua honua e kūʻē i nā lehulehu. Wahi a Human Rights Watch, pili kēia mau hana i nā kānāwai kaua a, e like me kahi 2020 hoike e ka US Department of State, ua hōʻole pinepine ʻo ʻAigupita i nā noi a US e nānā i ka hoʻohana ʻia ʻana o kāna lako kaua ma Sinai.
ʻO ka mōʻaukala o ke kākoʻo kālā US no ʻAigupita mai ka 1978 Camp David Accords a me 1979 Egypt-Israel kuʻikahi kuikahi, i ka manawa i hoʻomaka ai ka US e hāʻawi iā ʻAigupita me ke kōkua i ka lakio 2: 3 e like me ke kōkua US i ka ʻIseraʻela. Wahi a ka US Oihana mokuʻāina, mai ka 1978, ua loaʻa iā ʻAigupita ma kahi o $ 50 biliona ka pūʻali koa a me $ 30 biliona i ke kōkua hoʻokele waiwai. I kēia manawa, ʻo ka US hāʻawi iā ʻAigupita $ 1.3 biliona no kēlā me kēia makahiki ($ 3.56 miliona i kēlā me kēia lā) i ke kōkua koa, e hoʻolilo ana iā ʻAigupita i mea kōkua nui loa ʻelua ma hope o ka ʻIseraʻela.
Ua kahe kēia mea nui i ka wā o ka nohoaliʻi ʻana o Hosni Mubarak a hoʻomau i kēia lā, ʻoiai ʻo Sisi ka hana ʻino kanaka. Ma hope o ka luku weliweli 2014 Rabaa Square, Pelekikena Obama ho'ōkiʻia ka lawe ʻia ʻana o nā pahu koa US, nā misil, nā pelekane, a me nā lele helicopters i ʻAigupita. Eia nō naʻe, ma ka 2015, ʻo ia hoʻohalahala a hāpai i nā paʻa lima, e kuhikuhi ana i ka pono "e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia kūlike i US a me ko ʻAigupita pono i kahi wahi paʻa ʻole." Ua kuhikuhi kaulana ʻo Pelekikena Trump iā Sisi ma ke ʻano he "dictator punahele, "A mahalo iā Sisi no ka hana ʻana i kahi “hana kupanaha.” I ʻAukake o 2017 ua hana ka Trump Trump e oki ai $ 96 miliona a hoʻolohi ʻia i $ 195 miliona i ke kōkua pūʻali koa iā ʻAigupita no ka pono ʻole o ka ʻāina e hōʻemi i kāna hana kolohe kanaka, he kānāwai hou i ʻae ʻia e Sisi e kaohi i nā hana o nā hui nongovernmental, a me ka pilina o ʻAigupita me North Korea. Akā ʻaʻole paʻakikī kēia mau hana ma ʻAigupita e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia. Wahi a The New York Times: "Ma ka hoʻomaha ʻana i ka hāʻawi ʻana o $ 195 miliona i ke kālā pūʻali koa, ua mālama ke aupuni ʻo Trump i ke kālā mai ka pau ʻana i ka lā Sept. 30. ʻO kēia ala, hiki i ʻAigupita ke loaʻa kālā inā hoʻomaikaʻi kāna moʻolelo e pili ana i nā kuleana kanaka." ʻOiai, ʻo ke kālā ma hope hoʻokuʻuʻia me ka hoʻololi ʻole o nā kulekele a ʻAigupita.
Ua hoʻāʻo kekahi mau lālā o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo e hana. I ʻOkakopa 2020, 56 mau lunamakaʻāinana - 55 Democrats a hoʻokahi kūʻokoʻa - hoʻokuʻu ʻia a palapala e koi ana iā Sisi e hoʻokuʻu i nā paʻahao "i hoʻopaʻa hewa ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i kā lākou kuleana kanaka." Ua hoʻonui ʻia ke kāhea e 220 a ʻoi Nā kau kānāwai o ʻEulopa. I ka 2014, ua hoʻomaka ka ʻahaʻōlelo e hoʻokō i nā Law Leahy ma kahi ʻāpana kālā kōkua i ʻAigupita. Pale ke kānāwai i ke kōkua palekana US i kahi hui pūʻali koa haole ke loaʻa ka ʻike kūpono i ka hana hewa ʻole o kēia hui i nā pono kanaka.
I Kēkēmapa 2020, ua hana ʻo Congress $ 75 miliona (kahi ʻāpana liʻiliʻi o ka huina o $ 1.3 biliona) kūlana ma ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā pono kanaka, me ka hiki ʻole i ka US State Department ke haʻalele i nā kūlana ma ke kuhikuhi ʻana i nā pono maluhia aupuni o US.
ʻAʻole like me Trump, ua loiloi ʻo Joe Biden iā Sisi. ʻO ka ʻōlelo ʻana i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o kahi haumāna olakino ʻAigupita-ʻAmelika, ʻo ka moho a Biden i kākau ma Twitter: "Aia ʻo Mohamed Amasha ma ka home hope, ma hope o 486 mau lā i loko o kahi hale paʻahao ʻAigupita, no ka hāpai ʻana i kahi hae kūʻē. ʻO ka hopu ʻia, hoʻomāinoino ʻia, a me ka lawe pio ʻana o nā mea hoʻouluulu e like me Sarah Hegazy lāua ʻo Mohamed Soltan a i ʻole hoʻoweliweli i ko lāua mau ʻohana ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia. ʻAʻole nā helu kikoʻī no ka dictator punahele a Trump. "
Ma hope iki o ka maopopo ʻana ua lanakila ʻo Biden i ke koho balota 2020 US, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ʻAigupita e hoʻokuʻu i kekahi mau pio politika, Including ʻekolu mau alakaʻi o ka Initiative Egypt i mahalo nui ʻia no nā Kuleana pilikino — Gasser Abdel-Razek, Kareem Ennarah a me Mohamed Basheer. Ma Pepeluali 6, 2021, lākou hoʻokuʻuʻia ʻO ka mea kākau moʻolelo ʻo Al Jazeera Mahmoud Hussein, ka mea i paʻa i ka hale paʻahao mai ka lāʻo Kēkēmapa 2016 no "ka paʻi ʻana i ka ʻike wahaheʻe a no ka hui i pāpā ʻia." Ma hope o ka hopu ʻia ʻana o Hussein, ua pāpā ʻo Sisi iā Al Jazeera a me nā wahi kūkala nūhou e kūʻē ana i kāna lula. Nā Mea Hōʻikeʻike ʻAʻohe Palena i kapaia ʻO ʻAikupika kekahi o nā hale paʻahao nui a hewahewa loa o ka honua.
He makaʻu maoli nō ʻo Pelekikena al-Sisi no ka pau ʻole o kāna mau lā o ka hana manuahi ʻana i nā pono kīvila kanaka i kēia manawa ʻo Trump i waho o ka keʻena. ʻO ia ke kumu i makemake nui ai i ke kōkua o Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck e hoʻokeʻokeʻo i kāna kiʻi a mālama i ka holo ʻana o ke kōkua pūʻali koa US. Akā ʻaʻole pono e hoʻohuli i ka hoʻomalu Biden a me ka ʻAhaʻōlelo e ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ʻAigupita i kekahi mau pio i wae ʻia a i ʻole nā hana lobbying o nā limahana Brownstein i uku maikaʻi ʻia e like me ka luna o nā limahana o Pelosi ʻo Nadeam Elshami. Pono lākou e kau i kahi "oki uku" ma ka hōʻoia uku kālā a ka mea ʻauhau US i hiki ai iā Sisi ke hana me ka hoʻopaʻi ʻole.
ʻO Medea Benjamin ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu ʻO CODEPINK no ka maluhia, a me nā mea kākau o kekahi mau puke, e komo pū ai I loko o Iran:ʻO ka moʻoleloʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka politika o ka moku'Alapila o Iran. I ka 2014 ʻo ia hopuʻia ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo Cairo, ua kuʻi ʻia a lawe ʻia aku.
ʻO Ariel Gold ka luna hoʻomalu o ka ʻāina a me ka Luna Hoʻolālā Kālā ʻo Middle Middle East me ʻO CODEPINK no ka maluhia.
