Forum:
We will have 3 groups (please see below). The group representing the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian government will have 15 minutes each to present their case. Then we will take a 5 minutes (or longer) for the group representing the American government to deliberate. I will film you and it will be posted on the blog (of course, with your permission).
Agenda for Friday:
-The Muslim Brotherhood (15 minutes: 3-5 minutes per representative)
-The Egyptian Government (15 minutes: 3-5 minutes per representative)
-The US Government (at the end of the forum, your group will decide if you will continue to give aid to Egypt. The US has given a total of USD 28 billion in the last three decades. Egypt is one of the largest recipients of US aid.) (15 minutes)
Questions/Comments (remaining time)
PLEASE DO THE READINGS CAREFULLY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO EXTRA RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC. I DO NOT WANT A FORUM/DEBATE WITHOUT PROPER KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORICAL FACTS.
