Ehky Ya Masr Wasta in Egypt
from Ehky Ya Masr إحكي يا مصر · host EhkyYaMasr
How much can a relationship help you? In Egypt, the answer is: a lot. A "wasta," a connection that helps you attain a certain service, position or special treatment, is something common for those who live in Egypt. Even when not necessary, having a wasta can save an individual time and effort. In this episode of the Relationships Series, @Nour-Ibrahim-58 discovers how wasta works in Egypt and why even those who find it unethical rely on it.
