Social media accounts for the US Embassy in Cairo returned to work normally on Monday following a temporary suspension of one month due to a lapse in funding. “The embassy is happy to announce that with the signing of a continuing resolution for the U.S. federal budget, we are able to resume normal activity on our social media accounts at this time,” the US Embassy in Cairo tweeted. The break in regular updates on the embassy’s accounts started following an announcement on their official Twitter account on January 14. The senate accepted the new public budget proposed by President Trump as he finally halted the government shutdown, the longest in US history. Basic government roles like national parks management and safety nets funding faced various setbacks.
