Pressure from the United States has also influenced the SCAF’s decision-making. “The military establishment receives $1.3 billion from the US….They are very sensitive to US requests,” according to Saad Eddin Ibrahim, who lobbied the Obama administration to support the revolution in January 2011.
美国的压力也影响了最高军事委员会的决策。“埃及军方接受了美国13亿美元的资助……他们很重视美国的要求。”萨德•埃丁•易卜拉欣说。2011年1月，他曾游说奥巴马政府支持革命。
