Failure of the U.S. to react in the 2013 military coup and events there after will have consequences for years to come @awhawth

[HRDefenders @HRDefenders]

.@awhawth track record of economic aid to Egypt has yielded much less than expected

[HRDefenders @HRDefenders]

.@awhawth - what should US focus on in Egypt? Let's listen to what Egyptian activists are focusing on

[HRDefenders @HRDefenders]

.@awhawth - US has little support from European allies when it comes to dealing with human rights issues in Egypt

[HRDefenders @HRDefenders]

.@awhawth - despite the crackdown, some human rights issues ARE being reported in the media in Egypt. Tiny space left to talk about issues

[HRDefenders @HRDefenders]

.@awhawth -what we see now is different than Mubarak era. Disappearences of activists is a new phenomenon in #Egypt

[HRDefenders @HRDefenders]

.@NancyGEO control vs. power - repression of NGOs, civil society, protestors in #Egypt are control tactics used under Mubarak & used now

[HRDefenders @HRDefenders]

.@NancyGEO : what we're seeing in #Egypt today is the result of unmet demands

[HRDefenders @HRDefenders]

.@dooley_dooley: younger generation of activists emerging in #Egypt w/ different identity than those who led protests in 2011

[HRDefenders @HRDefenders]

.@dooley_dooley : there has been an increase in disappearences in #Egypt which human rights defenders are very worried about

[HRDefenders @HRDefenders]

.@dooley_dooley : although we call it the Sisi regime, there are several competing pockets of power in #Egypt
