The Post’s View: Egypt, Obama double down on failed policies - The Washington Post
The new regime’s dependence on brute force was demonstrated Monday, when soldiers opened fire on a large crowd that had been protesting the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi, killing 51 people.
現在の軍の暴力を嘆いてみせるのだが、ちょっと嘘臭い。
The governing document contains the worst elements of the constitution the military suspended, and adds more. It grants unchecked power to the military-installed president; exempts the armed forces from civilian supervision; and includes a provision on sharia law that secular and liberal forces strongly opposed when it was proposed by militant Islamists last year.
これはモルシ時代でも同じだった。というかこれがそもそも問題であり、このそもそもこそ最初の「エジプト革命」とやらがクーデターだった意味である。
The Obama administration is doubling down on its own failures. During 2011 and 2012, it refused to respond to the military’s abuses by reducing or suspending aid.
モルシ時代でのオバマ政権の関与も批判しているが、これもそう簡単に締め付けられたというものでもない。
基本的に国家が暴力装置として軍の暴力を収納していなければ難しい。
