"The commission found that US$40 million of the $65 million the US has purportedly pumped into Egypt to promote democracy has actually only gone to two bodies, and American ones at that — the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs and the International Republican Institute, Al-Akhbar reports.
But it’s not just American funding that’s under the spotlight, as Al-Akhbar's report states that a Qatari institution donated more than LE180 million to the Ansar al-Sunnah al-Mohamadeya (Supporters of the path of Mohamed) group, while a Kuwaiti institution donated over LE114 million to the same group, making it the biggest recipient of foreign aid in the country. The newspaper contends that the donations have to do with promoting Salafism in Egypt. Additionally, the Mohamed Alaa Mubarak Institute, created after the deposed president’s grandson died last year, received more than LE86." (thanks Sultan)
