On Thursday, September 20th, rumors had it that Hussein Zein, Head Of The Egyptian National Media Authority, has decided to ban all radio stations and TV channels from airing any songs, clips, concerts or TV appearances by Egyptian singer Amal Maher.

News with so much contradiction has been circulating for the past few hours now, as some sources claimed that she’s officially banned, while others denied the whole thing. No official statement has been released until this very moment!

Moreover, the alleged report specified that “Radio Misr” will not play any of her songs under any circumstances; the decision was reportedly passed on to all Egyptian audiovisual sectors. Additionally, the news reported that any interviews, talk shows, TV appearances or even phone interventions are also strictly banned.

The ostensible decision came without any sort of explanation or reasons behind it; no further details have been revealed yet.

UPDATE: According to some sources, Hussein Zein has denied anything related to those news, stressing that there isn’t any written statements that confirm what is going around of banning the singer, and it’s all only rumors!

We’re still waiting for the Egyptian National Media Authority, or even the signer herself, to release any official statement and unveil the truth.  We’ll definitely keep you updated!
