The Egypt we all dream of
Dr.. Osama Hamdy, a professor at Harvard University, is the world acclaimed globally in research and treatment of diabetes and runs one of the best research and development centers in the treatment of this incurable disease in the world in the United States, and we share together by birth in Mansoura and melting with love in our country, dreaming and working for tomorrow. We had a discussion about the Egypt we dream about, and its history associated with its leaders, and because we see in people the best of them, and positively appreciate what we see as good and criticize what we see as wrong. The discussion about Egypt’s leaders in the modern era was initiated by Dr. Osama says:

Egypt has had seven rulers in the past eighty years, each of them tried as much as possible to serve this country from a position of leadership, but he was good and wrong. His master, his success and failure are measured by the measure of people’s satisfaction with him at the time of his rule and the word of history after his departure. Unfortunately, the era of most of them ended without what they wished.

I said: If the transfer of power took place in a civilian without death, coup or assassination, but we see a building upon a building, an accumulation of the positivity of each era, and a correction of its mistakes, and we would not see every president destroying an act before him or sometimes removing his name from history and accusing his time of corruption and failure.

He said: You are right, with a neutral view of these ages for our leaders, for they have what they have and they have what they owe.

I said: Come, let us take them one by one and see the views on what they accomplished and failed in.

He said: I will start with King Farouk, the era of the pashas and the barefooted. He was a patriot who loved his country, respected the democratic constitutional system and free elections, and hated English colonialism.

I said: What is it?

He said: Personal recklessness, obsession with gambling, and tampering with politics by changing ministries, neglecting the countryside, leaving it prey to ignorance, poverty and disease, and entering the 1948 war without preparation led to a defeat for all Arabs.

I said: The end of his era was the removal from power with the revolution of the army.

And I added: What about Muhammad Naguib, whose existence was erased from history throughout Nasser’s life, and his time ended with khul’ and house arrest.

He said: During his reign, the monarchy, colonialism, and the proclamation of the republic ended, but he fell into the arms of the Muslim Brotherhood and dissolved parties, and he was not the real leader of the revolution.

I said: The era of Abdel Nasser will witness a disagreement between you and me by virtue of my knowledge of you.

Dr. said. Osama: Abdel Nasser was the era of industrial renaissance and social justice, hopes for unity and openness to Africa, nationalization of the canal, building the High Dam, cultural, literary and artistic renaissance, the growth of the socialist dimension and an attempt to achieve a society of sufficiency, social laws to protect the middle class, workers and peasants, and the elimination of the control of Ras Money over governance, then a war of attrition after defeat.

He continued: As for what he had to do, it was dependence on people of trust, the failure of the unity project, involvement in the Yemen war, the setback of 67 whose effects we are still suffering from, the totalitarian regime and the absence of democracy, control of the media, and security repression.

I said: I was neutral in your description, but what I take during the Nasser era is the loss of opportunity. With his popularity in the Arab world, he was able to move the country to a sustainable democratic era.

He said: What about Anwar Sadat?

I said: The era of victory, the beginning of peace, the restoration of Sinai, the democratic transformation, the construction of industrial cities, and the exit from the orbit of the Russian communist camp with a preconceived vision of the possibilities of its downfall.

He said: What was upon him was also a lot, the reckless economic openness and the widening of the differences between the classes, the Arab boycott, the return of political Islam to the arena, and the divergence in the orbit of the American Western camp, and the destruction of everything that Nasser’s era represented of social justice. And his era came to a tragic end with assassination (martyrdom) among his soldiers, at the hands of those who expelled them and pardoned them.

I said: The era of Hosni Mubarak was characterized by stability, the completion of the liberation of the land, the return of Arab relations, the lack of involvement in conflicts in the region, the expansion of foreign investment, and the rise in the country’s public income.

He said: Yes, but that was not reflected on the middle-class and poor citizen with social bullying and political stagnation, failure in education and health, widening differences between classes, the terrible population explosion and the emergence of slums, excessive security, and the moral collapse of society.

I said: The truth is that he also had the opportunity to confirm democracy and alternate power, as he had said at the beginning of his rule, but he did not, and his rule ended by being forced to step down from power unconstitutionally and handing over power to the armed forces instead of holding early presidential elections in accordance with the constitution.

He said: As for Mohamed Morsi, it was the era of the rise of political Islam and the rapid and horrific fall as a result of vanity, political stupidity, the acquisition of all powers, and the coloring of society in the color of the Brotherhood.

I said: Likewise, empowering the Brotherhood from all aspects of the state, destroying state institutions and establishing parallel institutions such as armed militias, opened the door for extremists and their protection, and opened the door for Turkish, Qatari and American foreign interference in the country’s affairs and future, economic collapse, and collapsed

His era of removal from power by a popular revolution and the support and assistance of the army.

He said, smiling: Shall we continue talking about Abdel Fattah al-Sisi (so far) or is that not allowed?

I said: I think that intimidation from the frankness of political discourse does not originate from the institution of the presidency, but it is an impression that is increasing day by day.

Dr. said. Osama: If Egypt had taken the best of its rulers and built on their achievements and corrected the mistakes of every era instead of destroying everything and starting over, we are in another place.

I said while we were completing each other’s sentences: If we combined the advantages of each of them, the states would be achieved

The modern, modern Egyptian civilization that we all dream of “a stable, democratic constitutional system, free elections, a peaceful transfer of power, a complete separation between religion and politics, a major industrial renaissance, high-quality education and health care with international standards, public transportation that respects the humanity of citizens, social justice based on a philosophy Clear, equal opportunities, cultural, literary and artistic renaissance, growth, protection of the middle class, and expansion of foreign investment inside the country, with freedom of the media. Completion of major projects and infrastructure and the sustainability of economic reform, while improving and raising the efficiency of security performance. Balanced Arab and international relations, eliminating slums, urban re-planning, attracting investment and developing tourism.

Isn’t this the Egypt we all dream of?

I said: Human development, my friend, and the peaceful transfer of power is the basis for cumulative construction, learning from our mistakes, and not repeating the same thing while waiting for different results.

He said: Far from being soft-spoken, and with utmost sincerity and sincerity, I say it to the current and future leaders of Egypt. This is all we wish from you for our beloved Egypt, so that history may remember you well.
