Egypt Two Years Later, What Has Changed? Budget talks of US Aid

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

For those that are interested in hearing from the PhD's and Experts who advise our government on the MENA region.

The US Committee on Foreign Affairs - Subcommittee on Middle East and North Africa recently held, on May 22nd, 2013, the 2014 budget meeting in regards to priorities and challenges in the region. I'm including the entire video of the hearing provided by the Library of Congress. It's length is around an hour and it discusses the entire MENA region but I was most interested in hearing about Egypt. I'm also including the MENA Subcommittee hearing specifically on Egypt that was held Feb 26th, 2013. It's titled "Tahrir Square: Two Years Later, What Has Changed?" The video of this hearing lasts around an hour and forty minutes and is truly eye opening.
