US Ally Egypt: Two 'Natural Deaths' in 24 Hours, Just Like Clockwork
Egypt's human rights organizations are reporting a second prisoner death in 24 hours in the regime's gulags, citing denied medical care. This grim tally is, tragically, business as usual for the Sisi government. What the mainstream glosses over is that this same Sisi regime, known for its brutal crackdown on dissent since the 2013 coup, is the recipient of significant US military and economic
aid—over $1.3 billion annually, consistently. While Washington wrings its hands publicly over human rights, it continues to arm and fund the machinery of repression. One might wonder: at what point do these 'natural causes' become complicity?
