Summary

A spokesperson for the US Department of State said last week (15/9/21) that the Biden administration

will withhold 130 US dollars in military aid to Egypt over human rights concerns.

This comes as US Secretary of State Tony Blinken refused to issue a waiver certifying that Egypt ’s human rights record has improved.

Tactical Report has prepared a 324-word report to shed more light on this subject.
