A new governmental decision to not renew the releases from domestic jobs for Egyptians working abroad has caused outrage among workers. We now also have a life abroad, we settled and our children go to schools. We used to pay an annual amount to the country’s treasury now they have to pay us… so what’s the solution?

Makram added that she believes there are even more Egyptians abroad.
