US Closes Cairo Embassy

Posted by Matthew Avitabile on January 30th, 2011
The United States has decided to close its embassy in Cairo after advising American nationals to leave the country. This also comes as countries from Turkey to Iraq to Argentina are asking its citizens to leave Egypt if possible.
The Embassy closing is for the time being, with no date given for a reopening. Further, it will still offer emergency support for those in-country. There is also a conflicting report that the US Administration is calling for citizens trapped in Egypt to stay put.
“We right now are asking people to limit their movements as much as possible and wait for the additional information that we will have on the charter flights that will be leaving,” Jacobs said. According to senior State Department officials, there are 380 government employees at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, and 760 family members living with them, CNN reported.
