The New supporters of Hala Sarhan

If anyone told me before that week about the new supporters of Hala Sarhan in Egyptian ,I wouldn't believe him or her

In fact I doubt Hala Sarhan would ever think or believe that those would stand with her like now

The new supporters of Hala Sarhan in Egypt now are the opposition from the liberals and Nasserists not her usual supporters and friends in the official newspapers and media ; in fact those usual supporters and friends turn their backs to her in expected move , because simply they are hypocrites who stand with the regime as long as she is with the regime

Well now it seemed the regime is against her as I hinted in the previous coverage about the scandal.The opposition stands with Sarhan not because of her black eyes or that some of them worked in her editing team once like Wael El-Abrashi , who used to edit for her the "Truth" show before leaving "Dream TV" channel, in one of her best career stops I believe

The opposition stands with Sarhan because believe or not Sarhan the TV host will always seemed to be away from politics will be from the early victims of the emergency and publishing laws in Egypt , she will be arrested as soon as she comes to Egypt .

This week Sarhan had an exclusive interview " not completely online , you have to buy the newspaper to read it completely "from Dubai with the Nasserist newspaper "Al-Arabic/The Arabic" , with articles here and there not defending Sarhan as many hate her style but defending and attacking the circus going on right now

The liberal "Sowat El-Oma" stood also in a defending neutral position and here when I say neutral I mean for example the article of famous TV and film critic Tarek El-Shanawy who attacked both Hala Sarhan and her editing from side because of laziness to go to the women's prison to find real prostitutes to appear in her show and the girls from another side to sell their honor for L.E 400and promises to lie and claim to be prostitutes !!

Not only Tarek El-Shanawy but also "Wael El-Abrashi" ,the chief in editor of the news , he didn't defend Hala but he wondered why suddenly the State declared war on Hala Sarhan and left all those tycoons and criminals of corruption like the death ferry owner in London without attacking them , well he got a very important point here

You know the problem in Egypt ,we got many problems that we don't know from where to start

El-Dostor today several pages dedicated to discuss the scandal , supporting Hala ,an exclusive complete script of the TV show which I didn't read and guess what an column written by "Siad Ali" himself about the reputation of Egypt game thing

I didn't read the Newspaper till now because My mom was reading it then my grand mother is reading it now but my mom told me that there are

Anyhow from the other side El-Gomaharia attacked Hala Sarhan and her statement I posted before below ,I am afraid it is in Arabic too

And also Al-Akhbar "it is back online" but this time indirectly

You know when I think more about Hala Sarhan and her scandal ,I realize that this can be part of a plan to divert the public attention from much important events and incidents in Egypt , I mean why those official newspapers don't speak about much more important events from corruption or even the forbidden constitution amendment, come on for God Sake why they don't speak about the run furry owner Mamdouh Ismail in London as much they speak about Sarhan!!

  1. Zeinobia,
    Liked how you compiled different reactions to Hala Sarhan's case from a variety of sources. And I agree that this issue has taken more attention than it dserves. Many of those who attacked her and who filed suits against her are merely seeking to brag about their patriotism. I think it is pathetic and fake.
    There are criminals who killed thousands of innocent Egyptians and who are still on the loose, like Mamdouh Ismail. We don't find anyone following up on their cases any more. As if the birth of a new scandal (especially when it involves a celebrity) marks the death of old ones.
    I believe since the official media and opposition have now decided to focus on Hala Sarhan, it becomes our responsibility as Egyptian bloggers to bring back old cases into the light. We must follow up on these stories and not allow them to die forever.

  2. om luji , you are reading my mind , already Nabih El-Wahash and co. are just bunch of fame seeker and yes our role as Egyptian bloggers succeeded to reach for the public is to keep those important files in front of the eyes so no open would forget them
