Selling fighter-bombers

mercredi 5 mai 2021 à 02:00

France has decided to sell Egypt more fighter-bombers. There are points in that message that seem like bullshit, but I don't understand what's really behind them.

I don't see that human rights are a direct concern regarding fighter jets. The Egyptian military regime is highly repressive, but I don't think fighter jets are very apt, or necessary, for attacking protesters, journalists or bloggers.

I also don't see how terrorism relates to sale of fighter jets. Egypt does have a problem with domestic terrorists, but I don't see how fighter jets are very useful against them.
