VOA Interview: Egyptian First Lady Naglaa Ali Mahmoud

Naglaa Ali Mahmoud is married to Egypt’s newly inaugurated President Muhammad Morsi, but she avoids the title of first lady, preferring instead to refer to herself as a servant to the nation. In a rare interview granted to a Western news agency, Mahmoud spoke with Voice of America early in the campaign about her marriage to Morsi, which began when she was a teenager; his decision to join the Muslim Brotherhood; and relations between Egyptian Muslims and Christians.
