This
monograph
examines
the
terrorist
groups
in
Egypt
emanating
from
the
Sinai
and
assesses
the
level
of
Egyptian
public
support
for
the
government's
security
crackdown.
These
terrorist
groups
have
not
only
targeted
Egyptian
security
personnel
and
foreign
tourists
in
the
Sinai
Peninsula
but
have
attacked
government
installations
and
personnel
in
the
Egyptian
mainland.
Because
most
Egyptians
desire
stability,
want
terrorism
to
end,
and
want
their
moribund
economy
to
grow,
and
because
they
have
few
family
ties
to
the
Bedouin
inhabitants
of
the
Sinai,
they
have
given
the
government
wide
berth
to
carry
out
a
heavy-handed
crackdown
there.
However,
some
of
Egypt's
draconian
security
policies
(such
as
punishing
whole
Bedouin
villages)
can
be
counterproductive,
often
making
more
terrorist
recruits
out
of
disaffected
Bedouin
youth
than
would
otherwise
be
the
case.
The
monograph
recommends
enhanced
U.S.
counterterrorism
assistance
to
the
Egyptian
military,
with
specialized
courses
for
Egyptian
military
officers
attending
professional
military
education
institutions
in
the
United
States
and
the
training
of
whole
Egyptian
counterterrorism
units
either
in
the
United
States
or
in
a
friendly
Arab
country.
The
monograph
also
recommends
the
resumption
of
a
U.S.-Egyptian
strategic
dialogue,
to
include
U.S.
Army
officers
and
their
Egyptian
counterparts,
where
effective
counterterrorism
policies
can
be
discussed
frankly
in
a
closed-door
setting.
In
addition,
the
monograph
advocates
for
new
and
enhanced
social
and
economic
policies
in
the
Sinai
that
would
aim
to
dissuade
Bedouin
youth
from
assisting
and
joining
the
terrorist
groups.
These
policies
would
involve
recruiting
properly
vetted
Bedouin
youth
into
the
local
police
forces,
and
a
major
jobs
training
program,
with
U.S.
financial
and
administrative
support,
for
these
youth
to
prepare
them
for
eventual
employment
in
tourism
and
other
legitimate
economic
sectors.
