description: Abla Fahita is a satirical puppet character, who began life in 2010 on a YouTube show and was then given a live TV show in 2014 - borrowing a format first pioneered by Bassem Youssef. In 2013, a pro-regime supporter filed a complaint with the public prosecutor, accusing her of being a British agent and sending coded messages to the Muslim Brotherhood (which, by this time, was considered a terrorist organization) through an advert for Vodafone in which she was starring.
