CAIRO — Brig. Gen. Mohamed Samir, a former spokesman for the Egyptian armed forces, assumed the position of director general at Al-Aseema Television Network Jan. 15, which sparked much controversy in the Egyptian street, raising questions as to the future of Egyptian media. Does this step mean that the executive branch will now have full control of the media?
The TV channel’s programs and broadcasting were suspended due to the change of management. The channel has yet to reopen with new programs.
