Egypt brain drain
What do you love about home? A group of Cairo students have made an online film about the things they love about Egypt. It's part of a campaign to halt the brain drain - their motto is Matsebhash or Don't Leave. It's not the Pyramids or the Nile that they single out, but little things like jokes, football and street food. Please tell us what you love about your country, and send a picture if you can! outlook@bbc.com
