“European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton criticized the use of force by the military-backed government, but later assured Sisi that the EU would provide 90 million euros worth of financial assistance. And in December 2013, she even took her family on a Christmas holiday to Luxor, meeting with Egypt’s minister of tourism just a few weeks after dozens of peaceful protesters were killed. The U.S. case is similar. According to U.S. law, a coup is supposed to have consequences. The U.S. government refuses to even obey its own laws, which would entail cutting the $1.3 billion it sends every year to the Egyptian military. Too much is at stake for powerful interests.”
