The real reason why Amr Adib didnt show up ?!

Although am not an Egyptian but I still watch the daily talk-show “Al-Qahira Alyawm” (Cairo Today) on ORBIT. To be honest I watch it most of the time because I like the way Amr Adeeb presents the show, where he talks like any normal person in the street, doe not use difficult Arabic words and doesn’t try to showoff how sophisticated he is, Although he is really a good journalist and if he wanted to do it that way he easily can.

On Saturday 3rd of November 2007, we were shocked to realize that Amr Adib was not presenting and that Khairy Ramadan and the beautiful Rania Farid Shawqy were going to co-host the show for today and Kairy announced that Amr Adib is out of the country and that he will be back tomorrow (Sunday 4th of November 2007). But still the next day Amr didn’t appeare and Kairy co-hosted the show with Ahmed Mousa and re-announced that Amr is out of the country and that he will be back the next day (Monday 5th of November 2007).

I started wondering if Amr Adib actually got fired or was eliminated or thousands of other possibilities, because I remember that Nirvana Idris who left the show couple of years ago, Amr Adib came on for several episodes and he gave different reasons every-time why she is not there with him, in the end after few days he announced that she left the show. So I got that exact feeling, but he showed up yesterday 5th of November and hosted the show.

So what was the reason for not showing up the first 2 days of this week?, If you watch the show from start to the end of each episode you would realize that those 2 episodes had important guests from “The Egyptian National Democratic Party” (El7ezb Elwatany), and as we know Amr Adib is outspoken and does not care what is the rank of the person he is interviewing, he asks the questions without caring what the result would be. So maybe those guests demanded that the only way they would be in the show if Amr Adib does not host those 2 episodes.

This is just my own understanding to what really happened.
