Egyptian actor Asser Yassin Cairo - Khaled Alloush Egyptian actor Asser Yassin said Western countries are using Egyptian Islamist party, Muslim Brotherhood, to interfere in the country’s affairs, adding that Islamist groups didn’t care whether American or NATO forces launched military interventions to suppress the violence. In an interview with Arab Today, he accused the Islamist political party of being “traitors”, after the party agreed several months ago, to host joint US-Egyptian military drills in September. He said the June 30 demonstrations which saw the ousting of former president and Muslim Brotherhood leader, Mohammed Morsi, from power, ruined Western plans. Egyptians, he said, will shape their own country. Commenting about his new film, Farsh Wa Ghata, (Rags and Tatters), he said he was overwhelmed with its success, after it received applause at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film tells the story of a fugitive desperately seeking shelter in Cairo, after escaping an Egyptian prison, following the turbulent events of the 2011 Tahrir Square demonstrations. The film festival is the fourth biggest in the world showcasing the work of up-coming actors and producers. This recent film he starred will be the third time he has been nominated for success at the ceremony. The Cannes Film Festival, in 2011, screened ’18 Youm’, (18 Days), starring Yassin, in a film named after the 18 days after Egypt’s first revolution. Farsh Wa Ghata was written and directed by Ahmed Abdullah. The film was shot in real locations in the slums of Manshet Nassir, in Cairo.
