/A brutally repressive regime that came to power through a military coup
against an elected president, and inaugurated its reign with the largest
massacre
<https://www.hrw.org/report/2014/08/12/all-according-plan/raba-massacre-and-mass-killings-protesters-egypt>of
civilians in Egyptian modern history, has been sustained by enormous
arms sales and investments from Europe. On the one hand, European
governments have willfully ignored the Egyptian regime’s grave
violations of human rights in exchange for a counter-productive
cooperation in the Global War on Terror and the policing of migration
from Africa to Europe. The Egyptian regime on the other hand, has bought
European silence and complicity with billions of dollars’ worth of deals
in mega investment projects and arms purchases. An increasingly
suffocated local civil society, international rights groups, journalists
and analysts have reported extensively on the situation in Egypt and
have exposed Europe’s lethal foreign policy. Yet, even after persistent
news of arbitrary arrests, forced disappearances and deaths in custody,
it is still business as usual with Egypt. Even more, European states are
consolidating their friendship with the Egyptian regime both in material
and symbolic forms, further boosting its legitimacy and impunity from an
endless series of crimes./
