US SUSPENDS MILITARY AID TO EGYPT

 Although the Obama administration has not publicly said the Egyptian military takeover was a coup,it is temporarily suspending its disbursement of most military aid,delivery of weapons to the Egyptian military and some form of economic aid to the Egyptian government.This comes after the Egyptian military ousted Mohammed Morsi,the democratically elected President.

There have been condemnations from world leaders because of this military takeover and US President,Barrack Obama also cancelled his planned visit to Egypt.There have also been nationwide protests in Egypt since the takeover as the loyalists of the ousted President torched down government buildings,churches and other institutions to demonstrate their anger.They want democrary and not military rule which has always been the order of the day in Egypt.

The Office of US Sen.Patrick Leahy,head of the appropriations state and foreign operations sub-committee confirms that military aid to Egypt has been cut off...The Beast reports.

The Egyptian aid on hold includes:

- The Apache Helicopters which the Egyptian Govt already paid for
- Economic support funds for programs that will benefit the Egyptian govt
- $1.3billion in military aid
