I'm assuming you are from the US.
write to your congress man and get enough of your friends to do so.
make it clear that the voters actually CARE about it, and the US gov would take action.
you don't need a conflict.
you just need to have the US apply pressure on Egypt to take action against this sort of thing (the US gives Egypt billions in Aid every year) and leave it to them.
anyway, its kinda late.
goodnight.
