Dr. Hossam Badrawi Official Website
Political thinker Dr. Hossam Badrawi, National Dialogue Advisor for Egypt Vision 2030, emphasized that confronting attempts at forced displacement requires more than just rejection—it demands practical mechanisms to resist it. He stressed the importance of ensuring that the Arab voice is heard in its own language, not just in the language of others.
During his participation in the conference launching the Document Rejecting Forced Displacement, organized by the Egyptian Youth Council, Badrawi highlighted that the Cairo Declaration to Reject Forced Displacement should be translated into all languages. He explained that the issue is not merely about refusal but about delivering a clear message to the world. The discourse must be directed at the international community rather than being confined to internal rhetoric.
He further noted that current international policies are reshaping global power dynamics, citing former U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial policies, which continue to influence the structure of the global order.
The political thinker emphasized that rejecting displacement is easy and that anyone can express opposition to it. However, the real challenge lies in devising effective plans and mechanisms to combat it on the ground. He asserted that civil society’s role is to transform stances into tangible actions to oppose injustice and protect legitimate rights.
Badrawi also pointed out that the American people can support the Palestinian cause if we communicate positive messages to them, adding, “We must distinguish between the stance of the people and that of governments.”
