"Days before his controversial tweets sparked an outcry in Egypt; prominent
Qatari journalist Ahmed Ali told Egypt Independent in an exclusive interview
that as of today, Egypt has failed to produce anything of worth. In his
interview with Egypt Independent, Ali said, “The degree to which a country is
civilized is measured by its production and success in the present time and not
in the past. Qatar was unanimously selected to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup
while a few years before Egypt lost the same bid to host the 2010 World Cup and
got zero votes.” "We might be bootlicking to the US as you claim, but we would never allow
it to subdue us, as you do in return for its conditional financial aid,” Ali
said on his Twitter account on Tuesday before deactivating it. He went on to say, that “what else are you (Egyptians) good at other than
making falafel?”" (thanks Basim)
