With the 18-year-long Middle East peace process finally pronounced dead, is the Palestinian Authority (PA) finished too?

Tunisia and Egypt: Why Now?

by Lawrence Davidson January 31, 2011

by SR Editor January 31, 2011

To hear them talk, Western governments would love nothing more than an unrelenting indigenous Arab people’s-led uprising against their corrupt dictatorships. Yet, when hundreds of thousands of Tunisians, Algerians, Egyptians, and Yemenis suddenly started revolting in the streets, risking very real threats of further repression, arrest, and even death, Washington seemed hesitant to acknowledge the political significance of the riots.

Selling the people short

by Paul J. Balles January 31, 2011

In a report for the Carnegie Foundation on US aid to Egypt, Ahmad Al-Sayed El-Naggar asks “Why don’t Egyptians notice the role of American aid to their country? The simple answer is that U.S. economic aid to Egypt, which amounted to $455 million in 2007, translated to only $6 per capita.”
