Kerry Goes to Egypt to Support Murderous Dictator Sisi: 5 U.S.-Funded Nations That Torture, Execute and Jail With Impunity
U.S. military aid goes to wildly abusive regimes
By ALEX KANE
The United States has long funded governments that systematically abuse human rights. Over the weekend, Secretary of State John Kerry showed how that is still true when he visited Egypt and pledged American support for a regime that came to power in a coup.
Kerry’s jaunt to Cairo was his first visit to the country since General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the man who lead the military coup last year that deposed the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi, was elected to the presidency. Sisi’s election came in the midst of a massive crackdown on political dissent that has included the killing of Muslim Brotherhood activists and the jailing of other secular activists who sparked the 2011 revolution that overthrew another U.S.-backed dictator, Hosni Mubarak.
