Egypt's first woman captain was blamed for blocking the Suez Canal from the cargo ship

False news reports claimed that 29-year-old Marwa Elselelegdar was responsible for the disaster at the Suez Canal that threatened billions of dollars of daily trade during the deadlock period, writes Independent.

At the time of the incident, Captain Elselehdar was actually working many miles away in the coastal city of Alexandria.

I've felt I could be attacked, maybe because I'm a successful woman in this field, or maybe because I'm Egyptian, I don't know,” she told the BBC.

Speculations about Captain Elseleleger's role in this crisis were conveyed after becoming counterfeit thieves from an article published by Arab News.

Ballina was changed by “Marwa Elselehdar: The first Egyptian woman captain is sailing the waves of success” to “Aniya with goods stuck in the Suez Canal. The first Arab captain woman involved in the incident. ”

The people in our society don't accept the idea of a woman working at sea, far away from their families for a long time, said the captain lady.
