And The IOL Saga Continues

It seems that Egyptian-Qatari relations will be revived over the dead body of IOL !! Today minister Aisha Abdel Hadi  of manpower got involved in the IOL ,it is the first time an official speaks about the crisis yet unfortunately it was better from the regime to ignore it !!
The IOL is over , the Qatari administration has reached to an agreement with the employees !!
Abdel Hadi in official statement
Strangely there has not been an agreement yet between the new Qatari administration and employees who are still on strike in 6th of October. I recommend that you follow this blog : IOL voice for the latest updates about the strike
The Qataris have lost a lot including Al Jazeera channel in this crisis more they can imagine. I know very well Al Jazeera is biased to Qatar but taking the Qatari side in the crisis because it is only Qatari it is too much. Can someone please tell me how transferring the IOL HQ to Qatar will ensure its neutrality !!??

Already they can take over IOL as you want because this won't be the end but what matters here are the rights of these employees who believed in the caused and spent days and nights working in it.
By the way I have heard a stupid argument from the Qatari side that this behavior from the employees' side will give a bad image for investment opportunities in Egypt !! This is the lame argument used whenever Egyptian employees demand their rights from their new foreign employers. It is agreed that the thing that gives bad image for investment opportunities in Egypt is the corruption which let employees and workers lose their rights alike.
There was a meeting between IOL editors and reporters and Amr El-Shoubaky who is supporting them in the media since day one , I would like you to watch.
