CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's parliament has called for a vote on stopping U.S. aid.
Sunday's move by the People's Assembly was sparked by the March 1 departure
of six Americans defendants in a case of 43 employees of nonprofit groups
accused of using illegal foreign funds to foment unrest in Egypt.
The U.S. threatened to cut off aid to Egypt over the issue. Now the
parliament is moving to take the initiative, by voting to reject further
American aid.
The exit of the Americans kicked off a storm in Egypt, prompting many to
accuse the ruling generals of bowing to U.S. pressure and intervening in the
work of the judiciary.
In Sunday's session, lawmakers complained the U.S. is disregarding Egypt's
sovereignty. They also called a vote on a no-confidence motion in the
government. |
