Agence France-Press (AFP) quotes Resident Senior Fellow at the Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East Amy Hawthorne on US hesitancy in dealing with Egypt:
Amy Hawthorne, a former US State Department official who is now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council think tank, said Washington retained “a lot of hesitancy on how to move forward with Egypt.”
“The United States…is not looking to this election as a watershed event to Egypt, but they are looking at a lot of other factors to determine exactly how the relationship will be going forward — mainly freedom of expression, of press, of assembly,” she said.
