SUMMARY:Stability is Not Peace: Egypt\, Military Partnerships\, and Corrupt
 ion webinar
DESCRIPTION:In October\, the eyes of the world once again turned to the Mid
 dle East and the horrific violence that has been unfolding in Israel-Pales
 tine\, including the Israeli military’s relentless assault on Gaza. For 
 years “stability” had been misrepresented especially in the West as 
 “peace” – not only in Israel-Palestine but also in neighbouring Egyp
 t. The United States and other Western governments are supporting “stabl
 e” authoritarian regimes in the region\, and trading “arms for peace
 ”\, often at great cost to local populations. While almost 68 million Eg
 yptians were living on just USD 5.50 a day in 2020\, President El-Sisi’s
  government was spending 4.0 billion USD on defence and national security.
  Since his coup in 2013\, President Sisi has ruled the country in an incre
 asingly repressive fashion\, while also receiving over USD 1 billion in mi
 litary aid each year. Meanwhile\, a key US senator was recently indicted o
 n corruption charges relating to Egypt. As Egyptians are taking to the pol
 ls for their presidential election in December\, come join Corruption Trac
 ker to discuss: What is the wider context of harm caused by military partn
 erships with Egypt and other countries in the region? What does military c
 orruption mean to Egyptian activists and how can we build better relations
 hips based on solidarity with the Egyptian people?\n\nClick here for more
