The Egyptian Government, has on Thursday, shut down 21 news websites, including Qatari news network, Al-Jazeera, and Islamist-affiliated platforms.
The Arabic edition of the Huffington Post was blocked, although the English-language version was accessible. The independent Cairo-based Mada Masr, was another site blocked.
A security source revealed that the websites blocked, contain materials that “support terrorism and extremism, as well as publish lies.”
Another source said that: ”Sahara Reporters should always be included on the list of the websites that should be shut down.”
Recall, that since the ouster of the Muslim Brotherhood from power in Egypt, in 2013, Egypt’s relations with Qatar has worsened, as Cairo slammed Doha for hosting members of the now-banned group.
Egypt’s Gulf allies, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, blocked the website of Al Jazeera, and other Qatari websites, on Wednesday, after controversial comments praising Iran were attributed to the Qatari ruler, Tamim Al-Thani.
