BBC quotes Rafik Hariri Center Nonresident Senior Fellow H.A. Hellyer on the impact of the crash of a Russian airliner jet on relations between the United Kingdom and Egypt:
“It’s wholly understandable Cairo was aggravated by London’s decision to abruptly suspend flights,” remarked Dr H A Hellyer, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and the Royal United Services Institute.
But he added: “If the Egyptian government doesn’t learn from this episode, in terms of crisis management and showing that security really is being taken care of, there may be other uncomfortable situations in future.”
