The United States and the European Union Express Worry over Egypt

The United States and the European Union said they remain concerned over the land of the Pharoah’s lack of political stability. Egypt has been embroiled in political turmoil since the ousting of President Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The US Secretary of State John Kerry and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a joint statement: "While further violent confrontations have thus far been avoided, we remain concerned and troubled that government and opposition leaders have not yet found a way to break a dangerous stalemate and agree to implement tangible confidence building measures."

Apparently, the US and EU envoys have failed in Cairo to facilitate peace in the political crisis, which has led to bloodshed since Egypt’s armed forces ousted President Morsi and essentially removed the Muslim Brotherhood from all positions of political influence. President Obama had said that any political calculation in Egypt must carry the Brotherhood along.

Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have also sent representatives to the Egyptian capital, aiming to reach some form of settlement. All parties are said to have been working intensively to bring both the armed forces and the political opposition together.

Egyptian leader, Adly Mansour has warned foreigners not to dabble and meddle unnecessarily in Egyptian affairs. The Muslim Brotherhood has also lambasted the US over its role and acts. Muslim Brotherhood told John Kerry that he will never accept the military ousting a President in Washington, hence, he goofed and gaffed by saying the military wanted to restore democracy through the ousting of Morsi.
