In January 1977, Ahmed Bahaa Eddin wrote an Arab editorial about the critical situation after the glorious victory of October 1973. He warned against several threats that he saw a revolution at hand. The regime clashed with the people and Sadat had to visit Jerusalem following the American Administration to become a basis in our foreign policy and democracy became a fake play in our country.
On the other hand, Saddam Hussein led the Arabs to fight against Iran and then occupied Kuwait to face his destiny and get his army destroyed and his country divided. Iraq ever since became a land for civil war and destruction.
Then we had our war against terrorism after the Muslim Brotherhood took office in Egypt. The revolution of June 30 came to remove them from power and to demand the Minister of Defense Abdul Fattah al-Sisi to run for presidency and fix the situation.
With the situation called a total mess, the Egyptian army was called to save the country. The road map was fulfilled by a new constitution, president and parliament. Many projects were started and many decisions were made including the judicial verdicts issued against the young people of January 25 who were the mainstay of the June 30 revolution. The President visited the Cathedral to congratulate the Copts on their feasts considering it a house of God, but many police officers and officials are still preventing the Copts from holding their prayers and opening their churches, especially in Upper Egypt.
Then we got to the islands of Tiran and Sanafir, where the clouds of anger gathered from everywhere. Many people who used to support the president are now very angry and many of them have the right to be. I call the president to dialogue with them and stop escalating the situation for the good of our homeland. May God save our country and long live Egypt.
