CAIRO (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday rewarded Egypt for President Mohammed Morsi’s pledges of political and economic reforms by releasing $250 million in American aid to support the country’s “future as a democracy.”

Yet Kerry also served notice that the Obama administration will keep close watch on how Morsi, who came to power in June as Egypt’s first freely elected president, honors his commitment.

“The path to that future has clearly been difficult and much work remains,” Kerry said in a statement after wrapping up two days of meetings in Egypt, a deeply divided country in the wake of the revolution that ousted longtime President Hosni Mubarak.

Egypt is trying to meet conditions to close on a $4.8 billion loan package from the International Monetary Fund. An agreement would unlock more of the $1 billion in U.S. assistance promised by President Barack Obama last year and set to begin flowing with Kerry’s announcement.

“The United States can and wants to do more,” Kerry said. “Reaching an agreement with the IMF will require further effort on the part of the Egyptian government and broad support for reform by all Egyptians. When Egypt takes the difficult steps to strengthen its economy and build political unity and justice, we will work with our Congress at home on additional support.”

Kerry cited Egypt’s “extreme needs” and Morsi’s “assurances that he plans to complete the IMF process” when he told the president that the U.S. would provide $190 million of a long-term $450 million pledge “in a good-faith effort to spur reform and help the Egyptian people at this difficult time.”

Separately, the top U.S. diplomat announced $60 million for a new fund for “direct support of key engines of democratic change,” including Egypt’s entrepreneurs and its young people. Kerry held out the prospect of U.S. assistance to this fund climbing to $300 million over time.

Recapping his meetings with political figures, business leaders and representatives of outside groups, Kerry said he heard of their “deep concern about the political course of their country, the need to strengthen human rights protections, justice and the rule of law, and their fundamental anxiety about the economic future of Egypt.”

Those issues came up in “a very candid and constructive manner” during Kerry’s talks with Morsi.

“It is clear that more hard work and compromise will be required to restore unity, political stability and economic health to Egypt,” Kerry said.

Syria and Iran also came up, according to officials.

With parliamentary elections in April approaching and liberal and secular opponents of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood saying they will boycott, Kerry called the vote “a particularly critical step” in Egypt’s democratic transition.

Violent clashes between protesters and security forces have created an environment of insecurity, complicating Egyptian efforts to secure vital international aid.

Officials in the Egyptian presidency said Kerry stressed the need for consensus with the opposition in order to restore confidence in Egypt that it can ride out the crisis. Morsi was reported to have expressed the importance of Egypt’s relationship with United States, which is based on “mutual respect,” and focused on the importance of the democratic process in building a strong and stable nation.

Kerry made clear that in all his meetings, he conveyed the message that Egyptians who rose up and overthrew Mubarak “did not risk their lives to see that opportunity for a brighter future squandered.”

He also told the country’s bickering politicians that they must overcome differences to get Egypt’s faltering economy back on track and maintain its leadership role in the volatile Middle East.

The U.S. is deeply concerned that continued instability in Egypt will have broader consequences in a region already rocked by unrest.

U.S. officials said Kerry had planned to stress the importance of upholding Egypt’s peace agreement with Israel, cracking down on weapons smuggling to extremists in the Gaza Strip and policing the increasingly lawless Sinai Peninsula while continuing to play a positive role in Syria’s civil war.

The impact of his message of unity to the opposition coalition seemingly was blunted when only six of the 11 guests invited by the U.S. Embassy turned up for the Saturday session and three of those six said they still intended to boycott the April parliamentary election, according to participants.

Kerry said that the U.S. would not pick sides in Egypt, and he appealed to all sides to come together around human rights, freedom and speech and religious tolerance.

In an apparent nod to the current stalemate in Washington over the U.S. federal budget, Kerry acknowledged after meeting Foreign Minister Kamel Amr that compromise is difficult yet imperative.

“I say with both humility and with a great deal of respect that getting there requires a genuine give-and-take among Egypt’s political leaders and civil society groups just as we are continuing to struggle with that in our own country,” he said. `There must be a willingness on all sides to make meaningful compromises on the issues that matter most to all of the Egyptian people.”

The opposition accuses Morsi and the Brotherhood of following in the footsteps of Mubarak, failing to carry out reforms and trying to install a more religiously conservative system.

Morsi’s administration and the Brotherhood say their foes, who have trailed significantly behind Islamists in all elections since the uprising against Mubarak, are running away from the challenge of the ballot box and are trying to overturn democratic gains.

From Egypt, Kerry headed to Saudi Arabia on Sunday, with later stops in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, where his focus is expected to be the crisis in Syria

Kerry is set to return to Washington on Wednesday.

      Maybe. Then again maybe for the most part God wound the world (or the cosmos) up like a clock & will just let it run for long periods of time without interference.

      We don’t know.

      Saying this or that natural event or human event is the hand of God is idle speculation for the most part.

      The more God does, the less we can do. The less we can do the less free choice we have. God has got to give us some rope so he may see what we do.

      We aren’t broke! There is money stashed all over the place. You have this deal and I just about another deal which is one of many. The donors have to be taken care of are you will be fish bait next election. I just read That in August of 2012 we gave a contract for $ 64 million bucks to AM General to to deliver 22 prototypes for testing. In the Bush Era venders spent their own money and then the militaruy tested several to see who we would buy from. These 4 wheel drive cars look just like what is out there except they have turbo deisels. I think Jeep, Ford or GM could have provided a car for testing for a lot less than $ 3 million bucks.

      May 2011 Obama pledged one billion dollars to support Egypt’s democratic revolution. We all know how that has turned out. The $190 million dollars that Kerry so graciouly gave Morsi is the first installment….for Egypt’s “extreme needs”. Obama is also giving Egypt $60 million dollars in funds to support small businesses and provide support for Egypt’s entrepreneurs and it’s young people. This makes my blood boil!!!! We are giving the Muslem Brotherhood – who hate us – all of this money to help small businesses and entrepreneurs and it’s young people – REALLY !- when many, many small businesses right here in the United State of America are going out of business due to high taxes and over regulation, and Obamacare.!!!! Our young entrepreneurs find it difficult to get started due to over regulations/taxes and out young people find it difficult to find jobs. AND OBAMA CAN’T FIND A WAY TO CUT SPENDING!!!!!!! WELL, STOP SUPPORTING THE MUSLEM BROTHERHOOD!!!!!!! America is in deep trouble and it is soooooo obvious that we need to some how, some way, get Obama out of office. The question is: who will help us? How do we do it?

      Golly Gee, JARHEAD thats a lot of emotion “Hitler-loving” “evil infects” “coward”

      What about this, instead of emotion lets look at something that doesn’t have emotion – numbers

      US Military Aid to Israel
      2009 – 2.55 billion
      2010 – 2.70 billion
      2011 – 2.85 billion
      2012 – 3.00 billion
      2013 – 2018 3.5 billion per year
      The total is 28.6 billion, and that’s just for 9 years

      The sequester – so now the government is going to begin cutting $85 billion from federal accounts, enacting across the board reductions, yet still giving billions to the middle east.

      Now emotion aside, just by looking at the numbers can you grasp how ridiculous this is, America is broke, in debt but still printing cash and giving it away, to people that half the time burn American flags

      If you like TECH or not he is right, if you think he’s wrong then prove it with facts not liberal one liners.

This, all courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer to a country’s leader, Morsi, and party, the Moslem Brotherhood, that doesn’t like the US at all.

    They are stupid. All this is going to do is keep them afloat a little while longer with money we cannot afford to give or lend.

    P.S.
    - The no money until you meet with John Kerry is a nice touch intended to build up Kerry’s stature and prove that the MB can be reasonable if we just talk to them.

    Was Kerry chosen not only because he is an old 60s hater of the American military, but because he likes to be abused ?? We had previously seen Obama’s Grand Apology but now we are witnessing Kerry’s America Being Abused Tour. I resent my tax money going to the Muslim Brotherhood even more than to NPR – that BBC / International Left / Obama mouthpiece !

    Yeah… just give it away while Illegal Aliens are let out of jails, you can’t fuel you ships, military and retirees are going to suffer, the sky will fall etc. We can threaten our military over cuts while giving the Morsi 20 F-16 aircraft and 200 tanks??? We sure know whose side our administration is on!

    “U.S. officials said Kerry had planned to stress the importance of upholding Egypt’s peace agreement with Israel…”

    “Had planned…?” Well, did he?

    “Kerry said that the U.S. would not pick sides in Egypt….”

    So… why did you give only one side all the money?

    “There must be a willingness on all sides to make meaningful compromises on the issues that matter most to all of the Egyptian people.”

    Just like we do here…. right, John?

    Without Statesmen to represent the US… well, we get this. What a joke.

    If Mr. Obama is truly concerned about the Sequester he could select a major cut in the budget by curtailing foreign aid and relegating John Kerry to play golf with him for the remainder of his term.

      The Ben Ghazi survivors speak out in 4 months?

      Given Obma’s track record, they could all be dead. 3 gay men from Obama Chicago church were all murdered. Chicago is a rough place especially if you are black living in a black neighborhood, but what are the odds? 4.7/100,000 * 4.7/100,000 * 4.7/100,000.

      Larry Bland, Nate Spencer & Young all died in 2007 What are the odds?

      Some of the Ben Ghazi survivors are at Walter Reed if I recall correctly. Why can’t they be interviewed surreptitiously or openly?

      Why 4 months?

      be glad to
      benghazi — There were survivors that have vanished
      The goverment cant hid them forever some one is going to talk regardless of the pressure
      Also the men that sat in the planes in italy will talk
      The men on the ships off shore will talk
      The men that waisted hours and hours at the airport will talk
      The list of those that know a fragment of the truth is endless
      And were was Obama ? I think and you all will laugh but I think he was seeing a mistress and she will talk (that is why he needed to see woods for advice )
      My opinion the lies will come down in the mid summer

The destruction that is happening right before my eyes is extremely alarming. I never would have thought for a moment that this could happen in this Country. Thank you again Gyro!

      @Gyro: I do read all of “Monks” comments and certainly respect him. He appears to be extremely intelligent and truly on top of the truth. But why should I not pay attention to your posts? I agree with you as much as I agree with Monk. What is the W5? Teach me if you will. I don’t have too many people on my side. This world and what it is turning into is really starting to make me question my sanity.

      TH777 — we are steeling Snowleopards post
      On the blaze cast a few weeks ago scott talked about teaching journalism and the values
      What he didnt get to was the questions that a good reporter must ask
      who/ if they say SOMEONE
      what / If they clame a answer with out a question
      when / simple tell when
      why/ make them say why they did it
      were / if it happened were did it happen
      no reporters ask theses questions anymore to lazy (hope the blaze will)

      Well GYRO, if he was seeing a so called mistress, I’d be guessing it was a “Mister” & not a “Mistress”…It would not surpise me in the least…..

    Of course Obama is going to help the Muslim Brotherhood. Who else would we send the aid to…Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East? No way, we are going to send it to Muslim extremist…that’s just the way our president rolls!
