"The toppling of Mubarak was the Arab Spring’s high point and defining moment. Two years on, however, Egypt has reached a critical juncture. The election of President Morsi has heralded a raft of deeply illiberal laws and an over-reaching of presidential power. Women protesters have been subject to a huge number of assaults by security forces, minorities – particularly Coptic Christians – have faced serious oppression, and the recent alarming violence in Port Said points to a highly volatile security situation, which has been exacerbated by police brutality and excessive judicial punishment. We must therefore continue to focus our attention on the human rights situation and on the political developments on the ground. Egypt’s economic crisis, in particular, is a grave concern, and a key reason why the withdrawal of aid would almost certainly cause more harm than good; but at the same time we must deploy aid as an incentivising tool, which encourages much-needed reforms alongside much-needed development. A peaceful, stable democracy takes more than two years to consolidate, but we must assist its architects as far as we can."@en1
