Transcripts For ALJAZ Our Man In Cairo 20240712

What a curfew is supposed to look like youve got quiet streets not a lot of people out although youre seeing a few cars here. But it was a far cry from this just an hour or 2 ago that was when thousands of protesters gathered just about 2 blocks down there and police came in huge force and they were firing tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd they quickly and rather easily took over that area in knowledge numbers we got a whiff of that tear gas as we were running away during our live shot 2 hours ago. By the police who take in that area over there are still protesters out over the town but they are no longer in this same region so theyre finding other places but theyre still upset over the fact that only one of those 4 officers who kneeled on the back of george floyd have been arrested and charged that officer was charged with murder and manslaughter but people here want to charge against the other officers and theyre also just simply upset that these events continue to happen. Our thoughts are continuing into the night and los angeles where people have looted stores and started fires there were Peaceful Demonstrations there largely earlier in the day robert also has more details on one of those fires this is a huge fire in a commercial building on the west side of the city its not one of your big corporate chains its not a walmart or starbucks its just a couple of shoe stores and Jewelry Stores so unfortunately those thats one Business Owner whos out of a livelihood. Its couples broke out between police and protesters and new york where the unrest went on late into the night at least 2 police cars were set on fire tens of thousands of people turned out to protest Deborah Elizondo is there. I slate it groups of. Protesters are still kind of going around the streets a little bit but for the most part what are we are seeing now is the after effects of some of the ugly side of the protests that we saw the vast majority were peaceful but here in Union Square Area of new york city in the last hour to 2 hours it got quite chaotic actually theres still. Some groups of protesters up the street there police have the street blocked off. I guess you can describe it as somewhat of a tense calm at this hour. Ben over there that was set on fire theres about 3 Police Vehicles that were set up blaze this evening and then if you follow me over here i can just give you an idea of the anger that so many people have. This is 2 of the police vans they were vandalized here. Again and what youre looking at is a manifestation of anger and frustration by some of the protesters who say theyve just simply had enough and that what youre seeing here is theyre saying that this is gone beyond minneapolis minnesota and george floyd that this is now Gone National but in new york city this evening definitely we saw intense protests throughout the afternoon in Brooklyn New York city and elsewhere but ultimately ended with some ugly scenes here in union square and in miami peaceful protests also turned Violent Police cars were set on fire officers fired tear gas a curfew is now in place and is due to end at 6 am local time on sunday morning. Heres are the headlines keep it on aljazeera will keep you posted on all of that our man in cairo is next. And i missed any of the i mean so i may. Have even what i did 30. Mr dialysis the. President Abdel Fattah Elsisi presents himself as egypt savior as the only man able to impose order in his country. There is this thing the smell of tear gas blood and bullets. Really start to talk to it out all the way men tank health donovan johnny. Man fashion with with the mustache for at that will be more. Despite his human rights record western leaders have embraced l. C. C. As a strategic and commercial partner so they promote clearly little question so that i may think im a. C c was able to say theres a threat from isis you want to defeat it give us the tools and well take care of this for a year. And we have a fantastic relationship with egypt and we appreciate what youre doing but is l. C. C. Really such a good bargain for the west. In april 28th egyptian president of the fatah elsisi secured a 2nd time in office after winning 97 percent of the vote yet the results were hardly surprising. There were technically 2 candidates but the other candidate was the most optimistic. In fact the supporter who had stepped into the contest at the 11th hour to prevent the embarrassment of a one horse race. 3 men from within the military establishment had initially challenge how seizing for the presidency in a very short space of time all 3 candidates were dispensed with by at the c. 3 sammy a nod a retired general was charged with breaching military regulations. And consul was a little known army colonel was Court Martialed and ahmed shafik a former air force commander withdrew from the race after being held in a luxury hotel for a month. Both recently president and sisi expressed regrets that no one was willing to run against him but the situation became increasingly embarrassing for kairos partners in the west. Parts of the Us Government were communicating to c. C. Him to those around him that we were concerned about his efforts to drive out every credible poneman to his reelection i think it may even have been addressed by Vice President and when he went to cairo earlier in 28 teams so that message was being conveyed. With no real contest the main focus for the r. C. C. Became obtaining legitimacy through a high voter turnout and. People were promised that they would get pilgrimage to mecca or they would get an improved Electricity Supply in their town or they would get and use water system. To live in a little better then. I think that this is what is. Really. Thank you. And 2011 the revolution in Tahrir Square put an end to Hosni Mubaraks 30 year regime and raised hopes that egypt would become the middle easts largest democracy. But this socalled arab spring was short lived. Since taking power in 2030 l. C. C. Has ruled the country amid allegations of Human Rights Violations as well as an escalation in armed attacks in the Sinai Peninsula that have killed more than 3000 people. The job is a key u. S. Ally and a major European Business partner western countries are often accused of overlooking egypts human rights record and its disregard of the rule of law because of the countrys geo Political Economic and strategic importance. A case in point is that of an italian ph d. Student from the university of Cambridge Julio regime who disappeared in cairo on the 25th of january 26th. The young italian was found dead 9 days later in a ditch on the citys outskirts his half naked body bore the signs of heavy torture. To outdoor. In on Pastoral Care the toilet out toward the. North east i mean to that or to what ed of a anyone of every dollar i come up with a song of. Their own that of the same state that case they are. The day regime went missing a major security operation was underway in cairo to control protests marking the 5th anniversary of the revolution. The italian authorities suspected that regime e had been arrested that night but the Egyptian Government denied any responsibility. There was a whole range of lurid details of a fright that rejoined he was the victim of a car crash and later a consummate in the press that julia a jenny was gay even though he wasnt and that hed been killed by a gay lover and there were suggestions that he had been taking drugs and this was perhaps a drug deal that had gone wrong. And i may get them to take him out on the shuttle italia my singing island on every battle not every battle that gets any on a sort of them and they. Counted the colaba out of their time in danger and i think that. Interior minister maggoty abdullah gul father dismissed western suspicions. And here they are united as i dont know why but you can be a good and done service as the more he has i dont know most of the laws in the in this hour shift well let me answer that better. 6 weeks into the investigation the egyptians said they had found reading these killers claiming that they were part of a gang they kidnapped foreigners. A group of 4 men were traveling in a small minivan according to their wives to do a construction job on an apartment. This vehicle approached a Police Checkpoint the police opened fire and killed everybody inside. Later that afternoon the Police Officers went. To the homes of these people and lo and behold what they find but turn julio jennies personal effect. But just 24 hours later the interior ministry was forced to admit that those men had nothing to do with regime is murder. Kathy alive or the norse to investigate they have kaido all due to some of the concept that suck it up and so mccain that i think were. At the other foot are they the command enjoy it when the other man that that kicked their sauna came off a child of the necessity either commenting. But the genie had been in egypt researching trade unions including the use of the local Street Vendors. A year after his death suspicions emerged that one of the leaders of the Street Vendors union was a Police Informant he had become convinced that regina was a spy. And surely you know that so you would rather live. Among news down upon time into all. That it but in the right mentor corner only gonna start going on but on the union leader wanted regime here to incriminate himself and pushed for compromising topics like foreign funded political activism. Primula island instead of the me from the deep in my sharia my son to get the guy well and send the love immaturely are already up with you less and ill hug and c and c s i meant to. Call it an age real can. Just stick around a bit about all in on bass that terrible thought i came out of here that. I can now be the muscle bus accident. I know it is highly. Doubt that any k. That he knew about me that i was looking would imagine ek with any other pick if he knew. Someone imagining the main. Battle tank. The union leader reported regime new to the Security Services just days before his disappearance. The egyptian authorities continued to deny any responsibility for his death. So there are a janney case came at a particularly sensitive moment for aleisha as between egypt and italy because at that very moment the Italian Energy company annie was in the process of developing the largest gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean called zohar in conjunction with egypt. Went on its own is nothing Game Changing a very neat thing when she took to the many other than your Business School bag. For geology even that if i started i would want to be plays an Important Energy i want you pays if you know many people should these fine he probably does only domestically dinner just one provision of zoar gas field is also a major source of profit for any worth an estimated 6400000000. 00 to the gas giant it was in any use interest as well as in theses interests to achieve a rapid resolution of this case and for those of a project could go ahead. The political stalemate caused by regime his murder came to an end 20 italy sent a new ambassador to cairo. She had been shot down a farce indeed appropriate she of the moon shot a 0 she caught a love for a. Diplomat i said she. Politique a feeling full of. Pain so they say she finally ran to the meticulous media im going to look at the mental ability that has to leave his rank and file to do anything with them interbank they can only the article im given on the phone. Basically did resume diplomatic relations with egypt about 3 or 4 months before the Software Project came online and since then you know the project has been a Great Success by all accounts. All of the gold all me go. Out and d. D. Only g. Doing ality and the l a a dove it all was she on 1. 00 a cheney did of a door in feet a main that view but they aint there they love more of you they talk they in the yard. Years have passed since julio regime is murder in 2016 in italy and elsewhere many people are still waiting for the truth. For many egyptians what happened to the regime he did not come as a surprise human rights organizations estimate that in egypt at least 323 people have died in custody since 2013. 60000. 00 have been arrested on political charges and over 15000. 00 civilians have faced military trials including 150. 00 children. What has come to be called enforced disappearance is an every day occurrence. Dealing it didnt want to be there for the yam as a b. L. By then his heart of any of it and in the lower myself and the law and the how and. Why adam had a block under now i think youre in a had in in my fish effect.

Madam but ill be the heidi with the ball on my ear we heard we get different begins here we got a bill that will be thanks to an International Campaign highlighting his case. Was released after one year in prison he now lives in germany. And its in that regard most close to one of the mothers are going to have it at the mother ship and on the on the floor on the money on the bus for some time with the last roll of wheel meals ready for the infamous. Tarmoh was freed after 7 months a nun lives in france. And i bethought the muslim greatly to make any rash in thinking of magnetometers thinking even in a 1000000000 the time a minimum fucked up much of the back and the out in left a new thing in the monk another affidavit of the apartment that if its thought i mean. We become a national. White. I was in there and only. With internet a lot in santa. The one i had to look. Up on a moderate. Michele aka billy western again into a passion at. Documenting Human Rights Violations has become very dangerous in egypt. Since 2030 over 500 online news outlets have been shut down 8 journalists have been killed while covering demonstrations adelies 32 journalists and bloggers are currently detained some facing a possible Death Penalty case the hype said the show short. Lived a little b. C. Local in mostly who had of a child they thought. That was her little. Girl is a the. The to say we do it you can is military and also. To say we have and then i was. And i think its going to take this individual did it impede you know barack if you that there are any stones or many struggle i must hold that was a duty to show that kate does so vocally nice that he did many things you have to do other than want to do with one opposed to drill for oil for the good father that of us you and you have about but they lived with us into the modern and well winters but got them in point as well. So that if you need it they dont east. Wind up with sort of gave up they survived their larry will seem to have it they couldnt cope with dont perform that role in it. Perhaps the most famous case was the arrest of 3 ill just 0 journalists in 2013 former b. B. C. Correspondent peter greste x. C. N. N. Reporter Mohamed Fahmy and local produce Obama Mohammad was sentenced to 77 and 10 years respectively on charges of aiding terrorists harming National Security and tarnishing egypts image abroad and. The International Outcry caused by the heavily publicized trial eventually achieved its goal. After more than 13 months behind bars you straightly and peter greste was deported and his 2 colleagues received pardons from president Abdel Fattah Elsisi. After 4 hours and you never know. Too much time alone in the prison its like a dream come true. Im very proud of every single moment i spent in prison for the sake of freedom of expression im really really proud about. Im goes back.

Spectators including their us president watch the historic launch in Cape Canaveral florida astronauts are due to arrive at the space station on sunday for a 4 month stay as the headlines the news continues on aljazeera our men in cairo returns. Throughout history humankind has prevailed in our darkest ringback all coming together to face the very thing that would extinguish our life. This is not one of those moments. At all. This is a moment for pretty much the opposite for hiding for laying low. Is also. Saving humankind by really really not getting mirrors. Were playing games staring at screens staring at. All of the stuff of your interest. Every generation has its will or individual sacrifice makes way for the good of those who come after. Higher purpose this one is ours. 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 president ial palace. I was crying my eyes out i thought that for sure they were going to fire the 3 were going to die say my last prayers letter and in the famed moment. The army turns on the speakers of the announcement. A former air force Commander Hosni Mubarak had been the face of egypts military dictatorship since 1981. He was gone but his military regime remained largely intact. When the Muslim Brotherhoods candidate Mohamed Morsi became egypts 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. 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 morsi is election 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 didnt 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 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 israels next door neighbor and controls access to the suez canal. If and 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 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 iraq by the we 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 back put my phone on wait for think not a con and then tweeting taking phone calls from c. N. N. Aljazeera this and that. I mean i have time to think and i think what though and i get hit. There is this thing. Here again. You can almost taste it and. That of the bodies falling everywhere you look bodies upon badens. 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 egypts interim government and Security Forces we 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 face. I have been a face youve got to sleep youve got youve got to think shifts keeping with people theres one bathroom for 50 plus men of course youre so youre forced to strip naked except john where youre being and your head shaved is totally you really. Have to go on a Hunger Strike because it was the only means of resistance. No hard food for 489 days. They would bring my dad to the next ward to have let me hear his screenings and. Come tell me listen this is whats happening to your dad you know we can and theres just break your strike. Theres 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. Remains 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 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 cash without the very extensive economic support that the Egyptian Military got from the gulf states for example in 2013 i dont 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. But l. C. C. Rode the storm and kept the aid flowing. Egypt has at times or thieved much larger sums of money from them with newer allies particularly in the gulf but the aid from the United States is symbolically very important diplomatically very important and its not something they want to see she was able to say that theres a threat from isis you want to defeat it were your partner give us the tools and well 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 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 lets 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 high number of Death Penalty executions and the lack of fair trials in egypt there was another point she stressed. I think weve 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 weve been pushing in the European Parliament and ive 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 massacre and 2013 e. U. Member states agreed to suspend the 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 2040 italy has a exported weapons to egypt worth some 40000000 euros. Germany has made deals for over 1600000000 euros including light arms and onward 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 fact kill it off ali pull me off when i see. What is it on religion then the amount of it since she was old enough to see this as good multiphase dont know what i should be let out of. A false sense song called school approve of his o. C. Dont. Shock you can suddenly if you take it a spare just for cost of the talk it is pierce and i was on the temple on a democracy a disease that mr centers and plate but. Post the problem as you know my corny book mattie. Inexistent it at fetter only per. Se your live on going into the seam the field is a fail because of a disadvantage is it. You dont then im in for some question except. The dont they listen to the many of the given him a piece in london those are simply not clearly. There were questions so that i mean they can produce an r. V. Most superman so youve got this beside the nail of democracy yet i guess you feel. Your daniela will be safe will of digital. Signal thats all bullet ill Celeste Headlee to delusion always deadly violence has been on the rise in egypt especially in the Sinai Peninsula the Northeast Corner of this remote region has become for european leaders one of the middle easts hottest front lines against all groups the c. C. Government appears to be struggling to contain this threat of Islamic State militants who are based in the sinai and of course now with the effect of collapse of slotnick state power in iraq and syria there are indications that at least some of those fighters are now coming from those areas into the sinai but its hard to know whats really happening in northeast side as the independent media have not been allowed into the area for years. Imagining for a feel for. Whether. The media got it ill get it and then thats another leg on this thing thats and i see a very baumberger a policy in here fredricka i mean if you need any and you know you do want to get an. Unconfirmed leagues from the area reveal horrific pictures of the Egyptian Armys brutal crackdown amid increasing concerns for the civilian population. For all the force to point to the Egyptian Army has yet to regain control of the area while armed attacks appear to be spreading through. To egypt in nov 27th president announced the final offensive of the school. For the school. For. The whole. d last year but lesser. Or to start a little or less ship good news for a ship his method is that he is the only thing that is standing between egypt becoming another province of an islamic caliphate and stability and security and safety. In 2060 an attacker deliberately drove his truck into a crowded Christmas Market in berlin with lethal consequences after paris and london this was yet another deadly assault inside a european capital. German chancellor Angela Merkel turned to egypt as a partner to improve security and counterterrorism signing a cooperation deal in 2017. Im going to be to be a factor.

Is only for nicky demons own Office Remains that was the an example from english to sort of the type. Of market you would important to have had to collide lawson found keep it up whats asking the u. S. To give you a president in the start so again inside before added some tool for were tired does this endorsement and you need to feel what a democracy of italy and you to become a little of that not enough that into a little bit was a terrible idea well. Look it was a lot just to use an inside pool the president. Puts up the shaft hot. You won vastly. East dozens even Steven Corson off the comment that sitting on. The Berlin Press Conference with the 2 leaders 2 can ironic turn. A protest by an egyptian medical student was drowned out by as he sees all too chanting. Its a great honor to have with us today president ial c. C. V. With Donald Trumps presidency l. C. C. Look forward to friendly relations in washington tunes everything. And. Its no secret that trump has an affinity for dictatorial figures hes explicitly embraced sisi in public hes called him a strong leader as someone whos really getting stuff done. At the same time russia and egypt have grown closer bloodier putin and l. C. C. Have visited each other several times with financial deals and military cooperation on the agenda.

Some in europe have become complacent they have accepted that this is the egypt will have to deal with i think its a mistake i think it will come back as a boomerang. Theres an enormous amount of young people in egypt they dont have enough perspectives they dont have enough perspectives. For prosperous life a life they can shape the way they would like they are the future and they should be at the heart and at the core of what the dogs. Of. Hell are evolving off the coast of southern oman for now about the full stay in iraq is this massive cloud its a secular nation but its not even good enough to call a Tropical Storm really its a sight of saw in the recent revolution right into the winds no more than gale force and this after this forecast is dubious it may not do that but it has been raining in salalah and sudden on this general area for the last 3 or 4 days now ok go so the coast and you will cause more flooding the thing itself might continue to do that as enters yemen but theres no certainty to that have a look whats happening over here in the arabian sea is not a potential Development One to watch very closely now beyond that theres not much going on the winds are very light now the humidity is still quite high than 42 human degrees in doha will be noted 46. 00 dry air in baghdad probably doesnt feel the same way at all the coast levantine coast is anywhere between the middle twentys maybe the low thirtys generally in the sunshine weve got quite a strong wind blowing up the coast of east africa so really from tanzania up through kenya but these 2 in particular it will be i think quite frequently windy and wet the forecasts quite specific Dar Es Salaam is dont want that you would necessarily be pleased about it.
