America cannot tolerate the sacking of legitimate non-governmental organizations. America cannot be quiet as the space for civil society is crowded out in Egypt. It is time for America to stop giving the Egyptian authorities a blank check. President Obama must speak out clearly in condemnation of this outrageous escalation of repression in Egypt. We must put appropriate conditions on our continuing aid to the Egyptian military, including the condition that the military stop its repressive actions against the people of Egypt and against NGOs, and that it transfers power consistent with the will of the Egyptian people.
