Egyptian blogger Zeinobia accuses Egyptian feminist and writer Dr Nawal Al Saadawi of coming up with an annual gimmick to ensure her name remains in the news. “(I)n 2004 she wanted to be a president ,in 2006 she came and her daughter with the new idea that people to be called with their mothers’ names,” she writes. This year, Zeinobia says Saadawi fled Egypt to Belgium and is now seeking asylum in the US because “Egypt doesn't deserve her.”
