The Financial Times is back to its semi-regular bashing of the new administrative capital. This time around, the salmon-colored paper picks up on arguments that the project would effectively allow the government to wash its hands of Cairo and development there. “What will happen to Cairo after the exodus? It will be sidelined,” says Mai Al Ibrashy, an architect who heads Megawra, a heritage preservation NGO. The piece also looks into the Armed Forces’ expanded role in the project, which says is indicative of the army’s ever-expanding role in the economy.
