In 2019, Azza Mostafa praised refugees in Egypt, but in June she criticized migrants, reflecting a shift in Egypt’s policy amid economic turmoil and regional crises.
Ms. Mostafa voiced her outrage at the economic impact of migrants, stating, 'There are many acts of overstepping bounds. Is that acceptable? After we opened our country for them?'
Historically, Egypt welcomed displaced individuals fleeing conflict, but the current sentiment reflects a growing unease and backlash against migrants amid the country’s economic struggles.
Egypt’s recent hardening of refugee policies contrasts with its past practices of accommodating foreigners, highlighting the complexity of migration issues in times of crisis.
