Egyptian Censorship forbids Haifa’s new clip from airing

Dr. Sayed Al Khatab who is the president of the Egyptian censorship had made a decision to forbid the new clip for the song “Baba Feen” (where Is Daddy) for the famous Lebanese superstar Haifa Wahbe, claiming that she had made some inappropriate remarks about the Egyptian ethnic group the “Nuba”. He also points out that the song did not get the official permission to air.

Sayed stated that he refuses any type of insults on any group of people in the Egyptian culture especially after meeting one of the parliament members who is part of “Al Nuba” people.
