    article explains the "independence" that is being robbed by Egypts government. NGO's are regulated by the government and their every plan of action must be approved by the government before moving forward.

    NGO's in Egypt are now required to register under law 84/2002 but this law restricts the movement, development, and funding of NGO's. Speculations are that the government is attempting to downsize the number of NGO's in Egypt.

    Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are not seeing eye-to-eye. Although they are the majority party, they are still a separate terrorist NGO that aims to end Israel as a whole.

    Recommendation for Algeria to handle the human trafficking issue include punishing those convicted with imprisonment and help those who fall victim to forced labor or prostitution instead of imprisoning the forced laborers. Many NGOs do not report trafficking crimes to the police for fear of arrest and deportation.

    More information on the Za'arari camp that our speaker was discussing with our class yesterday. I found it interesting that Jennie Corbett, a policy analyst for Europe's RAND Research Institute, described the "acts of resilience and entrepreneurship" as "more poignant and impressive" vs. our speaker yesterday who said NGOS/UN groups should not use the term "resilient" so robustly.

    Activists feel the new requirements set in place by the Egyptian government is the worst assault experienced in human rights history. It is unclear just how many organizations will be subjected to the investigation by the Egyptian government.
