The recent banning of Tunisian singer/dancer Najla from entering Egypt has led her to seek residence in Lebanon. Najla stressed that in Lebanon she is free to move as she pleases without being condemned for her manner in singing.

 

According to the UAE based daily, Al Bayan, Najla was seen walking the streets of Lebanon accompanied by her bodyguards and is said to reside in an apartment west of Beirut.

 

Najla had recently took a short vacation from Egypt and visited to her homeland Tunisia, but was shocked upon her return that Cairo airport security forbade her from entering the country.

 

The news of Najla’s banning from Egypt was a rumor at first, but was validated when an Egyptian newspaper revealed that the singer was held at the airport for 12 hours endlessly trying all means to get permission to enter Egypt.

 

None of the singer’s contacts in Egypt were able to help her out and give her passage way into the country. It was revealed that the decision of Najla’s banning was made to please a number of extreme parliament members that had attacked the manner of Najla’s method in filming her video clips, especially the extremely seductive one of the horse.
