Al-Marsad newspaper: The image of an Egyptian parliamentarian lighting a cigarette, during the semi-final match once morest Cameroon in the African Nations Championship, sparked controversy and was subjected to a wave of criticism.
Representative Amira Al-Adly responded, saying that she is the owner of the picture, and the matter does not constitute any kind of harassment for her, stressing that she loves smoking despite knowing that it is a bad health habit and has no intention of quitting.
She added that she does not advise anyone to smoke, but at the same time she loves it, saying, “I am free in a free world.”
And she called on the speakers in this regard to stop the “idiot talk” and encourage their country’s team, which will meet Senegal next Sunday, to return to the eighth African Championship in its history. She said.
