Egypt

Right now a lot of things have been going on in Egypt. But the biggest problem is political. Egypt needs a good stable president unlike the ones in the past that brought forth many problems. Hosni Mubarak ruled was president for 30 years until protests and riots forced him to step down. Mohamed Morsi, a member of The Muslim Brotherhood, was elected as the replacement. However his rule only caused more havoc, unrest, and dysfunction. He unable to fix things so 11 months into his presidency, he was overthrown. Adly Mansour stood in as acting president until Sisi was elected. There was nothing Mansour could really do. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi- a military leader- became the latest president and is working to fix these problems. The question is: Can he fix it?

The U.S. should continue to provide financial aid to Egypt. In addition to political problems, there also is economic problems. Not many people can afford to receive education. Therefore people grow up illiterate and without stable jobs or homes. Many people are stuck in poverty. Therefore the U.S. should keep sending money. However the U.S. should not be helping politically This would just cause more complications and problems.

Western media portrays the government as the bad guys and justifies the protesters. The media shows the chaotic state the country is currently in but is dramatized and exaggerated. I think the media is telling the truth but only to a certain degree.
