United states and European Union considering cutting off aid. We are joined by rod stefani, an expert in the mideast. Rob, it is nice to have you. Thank you, allison. I was going to start by asking why do we care as regular everyday citizens going to work . Let me ask you about that number, a thousand people in five days who is dying now . Is it only people protesting . Who is dying civilians . Who is dying . It is a combination, allison. Civilians, people that support former president morsi. People who dont like president morsi. This morning 25 policemen excused by extremist in sinai. Unfortunately things are deteriorating in egypt. When we think of egypt, beautiful tourist spots, that is a destination for many of us to see the pyramids, if you will. We are looking at the violence, i have to ask what is it like for people who have lived in a normal peaceful space now gun fire and violence . Interesting you say that, allison, 10 of egypts economy is tourism. That has been a huge blow to the economy. President mubarak ruled egypt 30 years, he is gone. It opened up a space, a vacuum, with him gone, it has given an opportunity for every aspect of society to claim a piece of the political arena. We are unfortunately seeing clashes. Civil society was not able to foster itself. So unfortunately this is what we are seeing today. Which is a bittersweet catch 22 type of situation to pull in all the cliches. Werent happy with mubarak, open elections, morsi put into power, now this. Tell us the player, we know the Muslim Brotherhood. Who is on the Opposing Side . Mr. Alberday who won the nobel peace prize. You mentioned mubarak and dilemma. I think if the United States tried to work with mubarak on a transition. Seemed to the people in the region, i met with many of the leaders, they felt the United States pushed mubarak out the door too fast. It caused a spiral. I think this is a good lesson for the United States when we look at the region, lets work with the leaders behind the scenes on reform. Lets push them towards this reform. We need to do with good diplomacy. What is life for them like right now . Life is getting tougher. Egypt the larger importer of wheat. Egypt Economic Growth 7 . It is now dipped to 2 . Egypt has had to draw down foreign reserves. They are desperate. If things dont get better, it is going to spiral even worse. What the United States should do now, here is an opportunity for president obama invite the leaders of saudi arabia, kuwait, united arab emirates, sit down the table, hash out plan for egypt, at the end of the day it is economics. 20 of egypt live under poverty. Let me ask you this, if you could, rob, why should we care . Because as egypt goes, so goes the arab world. If there is terrorism in egypt there is terrorism in mideast. Rob, always wonderful to talk to you, well be right back. At ikea, we dont just design furniture. We design good mornings. Little experiments. Big ideas. Brighter ways.
