Egyptian army business

Available for over a year

Have the business interests of Egypt's military leaders influenced the course of events? The BBC's Yolande Knell in Cairo explains the extent of the army's commercial interests. Plus, Lesley Curwen talks to Zeinab Al Assam, head of Middle East and North Africa forecasting at the intelligence company, Exclusive Analysis. She suggests that one reason the military forced President Mubarak to step down, was in order to preserve their business interests. And our commentator Lucy Kellaway rails against the misuse of the title 'ambassador' in the business world.
