Aboul Naga is stoking tensions with the U.S. over funding nonprofit groups in Egypt by accusing Washington of seeking to create chaos and prevent the country from prospering. The comments by Aboul Naga, a leftover from Hosni Mubarak's regime, suggest Cairo has no wish — at least for now — to resolve the worst crisis with its top ally in some 30 years.
