Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. Pledges Aid for Egyptian Transition

HeadlineFeb 18, 2011

The Obama administration initially opposed the Egyptian popular uprising but now continues its attempt to save face. On Thursday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States will redirect aid to help the transition.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “The United States stands ready to provide assistance to Egypt to advance its efforts. I’m pleased to announce today we will be reprogramming $150 million for Egypt to put ourselves in a position to support the transition there and assist with their economic recovery. These funds will give us flexibility to respond to Egyptian needs moving forward.”
