Article is part of a special issue on Euro-Mediterranean relations after September 11. Article abstract: Since September 11, the Egyptian government has successfully exploited the argument of international security in order to fight its domestic opponents. Human rights organisations, in particular, have been accused of Islamist leanings and of supporting radical movements. As a result of these accusations, international donors have suspended their support for human rights NGOs, thereby threatening their very existence. While September 11 appears to have been the turning point, the origins of the campaign against the alliances between human rights organisations and international donors go back much further. The key to a deeper understanding of the dramatic developments in Egypt's civil society can be found in the complex relationships between donors, NGOs and the Egyptian government. |
