The Egyptians Observed the forty-third death anniversary of President Jamal Abdul Nasser.
Nasser, who led the 23 July, 1952 revolution that toppled the British-backed monarchy in Egypt, passed away on 28 September, 1970. His funeral, which was attended by millions of mourners, is still considered one of the biggest funerals in history.
“Many Egyptians and other Arabs mourn Nasser as a father figure, saying their dreams of building a just and progressive society died along with him,” says author Margaret Litivin in her book Hamlet’s Arab Journey: Shakespeare’s Prince and Nasser’s Ghost.
Ruling Egypt from 1954 until his death in 1970, Nasser remains a symbol of dignity, anti-Zionism, anti- colonialism, pan-Arabism, and above all social justice for many. He lingers in the consciousness of those who still dream of fulfilling the hopes of the late president.
In a different context, around 500 of the ousted president Mohammad Mursi supporters rallied at Dome Square in Cairo and distributed leaflets that denounce the “coup,” according to Russia Today.
The Egyptian security forces blocked all the roads that lead to al-Etahadeyya Palace after they learned that Mursi supporters were marching to it.
Another pro-Mursi rally set off from al-Rayan bil-Maadi, according to media reports.

On the 42nd anniversary of Nasser’s Death: 4 Nasserist Parties merge to stop selling out Egypt
Hundreds of Egyptians gathered at former President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s mausoleum on Friday to commemorate the 42 anniversary of his death and declare merge. |
I Agree with Mr. Hamayreh,Islamists can’t can’t take people’s support for granted….but I would assure him, that Islamist betting on pleasing American Administration, the real enermy, shall lose people’s support.
I, also, Agree with Mr. Hamayreh “The Islamists in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab world must not fall prey to the illusion that the West, especially the US, is undergoing a moral conversion and will soon come to terms with the will of the people.” but I would add that his hope that the US may come to terms is another illusion, a sixy years old illusion. Arab regimes, failing to realize who is the real enemy, lost 60 years betting on the next American President, or his next term.
Mubarak lost because his U.S.- armed, US-trained and US-financed Army was ordered to dump him. In Egypt, all Egyptians, not only “The Islamists”, as Mr. Hamayreh claimed, have suffered so much and waited so long..”
Let us remember the military councel’s legitimacy comes from Tahrir,” thereforeas long as People remain steadfast and hold their ground in Tahrir, It not Over Till It’s Over.
Obama just changed the horse, just replaced the Moderate Arabs with Moderate Islamists.
The result of the Egyptian elections are “very disturbing” for the Israelis because Obama whosell-out Mubarak, may sell-out the military councel. But, Obama who celebrated the result of the Egyptian elections as a victory for “democracy.” made it clear to Istrael and its Lobby: “We don’t compromise when it comes to Israel’s security … and that will continue,”
Acccording to Mr. Hamayreh and his brothers, the “Islamist reality” should come to terms. “It is is not the moment to open a front against Israel,” “that might rock their boat at such a crucial juncture.” its the moment for “constructive relations between an Islamist-dominated or Islamist-influenced regime in Cairo” and the USA
The sources also pointed to Egyptian fears that a Gaza Strip made economically independent through the establishment of a free trade zone with Egypt would be exploited by Israel. It would be forcibly annexed to Egypt as a means of solving the demographic problem in the sector, at Egypt’s expense. Gaza would then be used to accommodate Palestinians returning from abroad, such as Palestinians fleeing the Syrian conflict and those returning from Lebanon.
“What he heard from the secretary is that she is committed to following through on what she has said we will do,” a senior State Department official said following the 45-minute meeting.
So the aid is not without conditions
“The Egyptians have a lot of tough road in front of them to take the budget reforms that will be necessary and to do it in a way that helps them to move their democratic process forward,” the official said.
In 1952, the interim Revolutionary Council government of Egypt decided to build a High Dam at Aswan, about four miles upstream of the old dam. In 1954, Egypt requested loans from the World Bank to help pay for the cost of the dam (which eventually added up to one billion dollars).
Initially, the United States and British agreed to loan Egypt money, but in July 1956 both canceled the offer after learning of a secret Egyptian arms agreement with the USSR.”
In response, Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal to help pay for the damn. This act precipitated the Suez Canal Crisis, in which Israel, Britain, and France attacked Egypt.
“The Suez Canal was occupied, but Soviet, U.S., and U.N. forced Israel, Britain, and France to withdraw, and the Suez Canal was left in Egyptian hands in 1957…
The Aswan High Dam brought the Nile’s devastating floods to an end, reclaimed more than 100,000 acres of desert land for cultivation, and made additional crops possible on some 800,000 other acres. The dam’s 12 giant Soviet-built turbines produce as much as 10 billion kilowatt-hours annually, providing a tremendous boost to the Egyptian economy and introducing 20th-century life into many villages. The water stored in Lake Nasser, several trillion cubic feet, is shared by Egypt and the Sudan and was crucial during the African drought years of 1984 to 1988.”
Clinton reassures Egypt’s Morsi on US assistance. Clinton and Mursi also discussed security issues including a rising militant threat in the Sinai Peninsula, a region critical to relations with neighboring Israel. |
Mursi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood movement who was elected following Egypt’s revolution against US-backed strongman Hosni Mubarak, told the forum led by former president Bill Clinton that Egypt will remain pluralistic and secular.
“We have really a new democratic state and a new real civilian state in Egypt: non-theocratic, not military,” he said.
Mursi dismissed worries by some outside Egypt that civil and religious rights, including for the Coptic Christian minority, are likely to decline with the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood. He said the real problem in Egypt was Mubarak-era corruption.
“We don’t have a real problem in terms of the rights of women,” he said. “However, the corruption is something everybody suffered from.”(AFP)
