Egypt-based Tunisian singer Najla recently visited her homeland, but was shocked to learn she could not re-enter Cairo upon her return. Although the exact reason for the denied entry is still unknown, conservative members of the Egyptian parliament recently criticized the content of her videos. After 12 hours of trying to receive permission to enter the country, Najla decided to leave. (albawaba.com)
