In less than two hours from now, I ll be live again with BBC's Up All Night Program to talk about Egypt's Government's decision to postpone Local Council/Municipality's elections for two years that was due April this year. The US criticized the Egyptian Government today.The Muslim Brotherhood are crying foul game.

I am extremely excited about it, so please listen.Again, internet users can hear the program by logging on http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive, and following the links to listen live.

Yay, I found you this time! You have a good voice - I expected a British accent, but you sound American :)
For anybody else who wants to find the right interview, it's the Wednesday one from this link:

FFE is about 15 minutes into it. If you select the "listen using stand alone real player" option you can zip forward to the 15 minute mark and you'll be there :)
Free bonus, you can hear FFE's first name when they introduce her :D
Did you think I will have a British accent because I am talking to the BBC?
Thanks for listening. I have to admit I was extremely tired, I am writing a blog on the Local elections in Egypt.
Hi FFE,
"Did you think I will have a British accent because I am talking to the BBC?"
No, no reason at all... just my imagination :)
Most the Egyptians I've met in the US have an American accent. Mona ElTahaway is the only Egyptian I've ever heard with a British accent.
But you are right, most of English language schools in Cairo including my school adopt the British way of education. I do not know why. That goes without saying unless the school has the name "American....". May be because we were under the British occupation for some time. I had never asked myself why Egypt is going for the British English?
I like both, the American and British, but now I am more bias to the American:)
