in 2011 nobody could anticipate that in just 2 years egypt would once again be under military dictatorship. an american egyptian citizen mohammad saltire got on a plane to cairo and quickly found himself at the front lines of the revolt. thousands of people gathered outside the presidential palace. i was crying my eyes out i thought that for sure they were going to fire the we were going to die they my life prayers letter and fame moment. the army
3:35 pm
turns on the speakers of the announcement. a former air force commander hosni mubarak had been the face of egypt's military dictatorship since 1981. he was gone but his military regime remains largely intact. when the muslim brotherhood's candidate mohamed morsi became egypt's 1st democratically elected president the military worked to undermine him from day one. by concentrating power in his own hands and with the economy in freefall morsi lost the support of many egyptians.
3:36 pm
many egyptians who had supported the idea of the ouster of president mubarak suddenly turned around and said hold on this is also not what we want and suddenly you had a brand new type of conflict inside egyptian society. when hundreds of thousands of protesters poured into the streets on the 1st anniversary of morsy selection the egyptian military exploited the situation to remove. l.c.c. who morsi had put in charge of the army gave him 48 hours to come up with a political solution. both morsi himself and his senior advisers did not see this coming they knew there was opposition they knew that there was this can and but they didn't think the egyptian military would actually move against them in the final analysis on the 3rd of july 2030 l.c.c. had morsi arrested the new military leadership suspended the constitution and also
3:37 pm
arrested 300 muslim brotherhood party members and officials the initial attack on morsy supporters soon expanded to include all political opposition to l.c.c. . egypt occupies a position of strategic importance for the west in the middle east it is israel's next door neighbor and controls access to the suez canal. if in a very simple bargain the united states has provided egypt with a large amount of military aid every year and in return egypt has you know kept the peace with israel has provided access to the 1st kind for american warships and has provided america with really a very strong pillar in the middle of a very volatile region. when l.c.c. to power in 20. 13 relations began to crack there was
3:38 pm
a general willingness to try to work with the new regime out of the interest in preserving the bilateral relationship so they were willing to give the new military regime an opportunity to prove themselves l.c.c. soon showed the obama administration was he was capable of in the weeks after the military takeover morsi supporters had occupied 2 major thoroughfares in cairo they are not a square and the road in front of a rabbi mosque. in august the military cleared these camps with an unprecedented show of force. mohammed salt was there his father a deputy minister in the short lived muslim brotherhood government was amongst those addressing the protesters from the stage. here i was taking pictures come
3:39 pm
back put my phone on wait for think not a calm and then tweeting taking phone calls from c.n.n. al-jazeera this and that. i mean i have time to think and i think you know what though and i get hit. there is this thing. here again. you can almost taste it and. that of the bodies falling anywhere you look bodies upon baden's. human rights watch documented 817 victims but the number may be as high as a 1000. united states strongly condemns. the steps that have been taken by egypt's interim government and security forces we
3:40 pm
deplore violence against civilians president obama canceled a joint military exercise and froze part of the $1300000000.00 in military aid to egypt receives from the u.s. every year. but l.c.c. continued his crackdown undeterred. prison. this my space. i have been a 5th you've got to sleep you've got to you've got to think shifts keeping with people there's one bathroom for 50 plus men of course you're so you're forced to strip naked except john where you're being in your head shaved is totally you really. have to go on a hunger strike because it was the only means of resistance. no hard truth for 489 days. they would bring my dad to the next ward
3:41 pm
didn't have let me hear his screams and. come tell me listen this is what's happening to your dad you know we can and there's just break your strike. there's no law with. no law. in may 2050 with salt on still in prison the obama administration formally reported to the us congress that arbitrary and unlawful killings were taking place in egypt yet at the same time the u.s. officially resumed military aid to egypt. l.c.c. remain their man to be reckoned with in cairo. your hearing concerns from the saudis from the iraqis from the israelis that the freeze in assistance to egypt was counterproductive that they were pleased with that there was a desire to i think address some of their concerns. the united arab
3:42 pm
emirates and saudi arabia invested in l.c.c. from early on. in the weeks after his military takeover the u.a.e. alone transferred $3000000000.00 to egypt while the saudis gave a $2000000000.00 central bank deposit $2000000000.00 in energy products and $1000000000.00 in cash without the very extensive economic support that the egyptian military got from the gulf states for example in 2013 i don't know whether they they would have carried out the coup or they would have been able to make a go of it. saudi arabia support came with a political price. in 2017 l.c.c. agreed to give the disputed islands of tehran and sun a few which sits between saudi arabia and egypt sinai peninsula to the saudis. the decision was hugely unpopular in egypt and sparks the biggest protest since 25
3:43 pm
. but l.c.c. ruled the store and kept the aid flowing. egypt has at times or saved much larger sums of money from them with new allies particularly in the gulf but the aid from the united states is symbolically very important diplomatically very important and it's not something they want to see she was able to say that there's a threat from isis you want to defeat it we're your partner give us the tools and we'll take care of this for you and he would make the argument that egypt is too big to fail if egypt does collapse if the islamists run amok or the economy goes down this is going to have to sastre its consequences for the region and for europe . the european union has trying to strike
3:44 pm
a balance between legitimate security concerns and respect for human rights. but many member states have adopted a business as usual policy. but unfortunately we still have a very weak common ground in europe when it comes to how to deal with egypt. a dutch member of the european parliament not each a shocker initiated a resolution that condemned human rights violations in egypt however she does that leaders of the influential member states will form only. we very much pointed out that human rights repression violations. executions torture censorship closing of n.g.o.s is not acceptable and you want to hear such strong words from let's say berlin or paris or london very much for 3 years shock a push to get the resolution through the european parliament besides denouncing the
3:45 pm
high number of death penalty executions and the lack of fair trials in egypt there was another point she stressed. i think we've learned some very important lessons in 20112012 when we found that e.u. made systems were actually used to track down activists in egypt and so ever since we've been pushing in the european parliament and i've been leading the efforts on the export controls of surveillance systems to make sure that human rights are criteria to measure before an export license is granted and despite this statement of principle we see that in practice such export controls are not really lived up to in fact there are serious questions whether it may be the case that julio regina who was brutally murdered may have been tracked and traced with italian maid systems and software. after the robber
3:46 pm
massacre and 2013 e.u. member states agreed to suspend exports to egypt of any equipment that might be used for internal repression. yet 12 out of 28 e.u. member states ignored the suspension. since 2048 only has a exported weapons to egypt worth some 40000000 euros. germany has made deals for over 1600000000 euros including light arms and almost vehicles and france has topped all the rest with over 6000000000 euros in sales including combat vehicles like those reportedly used in that up. massacre. the faceted in a possible will sell down the leadership to the effect a little folly put me off when i said vulnerable what is it on religion then the
