Egypt, Libya: U.S. Not Supporting Us Against the Islamists

Muslim Brotherhood protestors hate America,
Yet Obama supports MB, 
not al-Sisi's government

Egypt, Libya: U.S. Not Supporting Us Against the Islamists


The anti-Islamist governments of Egypt and Libya are complaining publicly that the U.S. is not providing enough counter-terrorism assistance and is supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood. They remain appreciative of the U.S.-backed intervention to topple Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, but criticize the U.S. for not having a plan to contend with Islamist terrorists and militias afterwards.
Egyptian President El-Sisi is gently criticizing the U.S. for not supporting the anti-Islamist government of Libya enough. He said, “there is a legitimate [Libyan] government and that government is denied the weapons it needs to confront terrorists.”
