EU Commits $8 Billion Aid Package to Egypt to Address Migration Concerns

The European Union has announced an $8 billion aid package for Egypt, aiming to address economic pressure and migration concerns. The deal includes grants and loans over the next three years, with a focus on fortifying Egypt's borders and supporting the government in hosting Sudanese refugees. However, the aid package has drawn criticism from rights groups over Egypt's human rights record, with Amnesty International urging European leaders to ensure clear benchmarks for human rights in the partnership.
