QUOTE:<br />

« People <strong>in</strong> Egypt are try<strong>in</strong>g to look <strong>North</strong>.<br />

Perhaps they look to Tunisia <strong>and</strong><br />

Morocco. They don’t know about <strong>Africa</strong>n<br />

culture. The media give us American<br />

movies, European movies.<br />

We have connections <strong>in</strong> Tunisia <strong>and</strong><br />

Morocco. The language barrier is not a big<br />

deal <strong>–</strong> many families are connected.<br />

We know them <strong>and</strong> they know us as well. »<br />
