Why would anybody want to buy Egyptian citizenship?

Why would anybody want to buy Egyptian citizenship? A bill that proposes granting foreigners Egyptian citizenship in return for a “substantial” USD bank deposit is inherently flawed. No foreigner in their right mind would opt for buying citizenship in a third-world country rather than using the same funds to invest in something profitable, Osama Gharib says in a column for Al Masry Al Youm. Gharib points out that Western citizens enjoy better opportunities both inside and outside Egypt with their original citizenships, while citizens of other countries are less likely to even have the money necessary to acquire one of our green passports.
