Khartoum-Mona Al-Bashir
The Editor-in-chief of Ahram strategic profile, Hani Raslan apologized strongly to the Sudanese people on behalf of the Egyptian media saying in special statement to Sudan Vision that this crisis was caused by a group of" half-ignorant media men" who sought to embarrass the Egyptian people with their brothers in Sudan.
He added that Amro Adeeb and Ibrahim Higazi are seeking very cheap prominence which is going to affect the relations between the two countries badly.
Raslan branded the private media in Egypt as "lacking the control" expressing his deep apology to the Sudanese people saying that what happened was not representing the Egyptian media at all and it was under the trauma caused by the attack of Algerian fans and we apologize to whatever hurt the Sudanese experienced.
The head of the journalist union Mohyideen Titawi, said that what has been published by the Egyptian media is baseless describing such behavior as a "valueless deal".
Titawi went on saying that the media attack was to cover-up the awful defeat suffered by the Egyptian team because they didn't have any logical explanation for the loss in the playground till now. For this reason, he said, they have fabricated these incidents and the Egyptians are very famous as skilled actors, but “we are not going to be distracted by such polemics because we have the insight and responsible attitude towards the relations between the two countries.”
