"The recording of the statement of the revolution in the archive of Egyptian Broadcasting is by Anwar El-Sadat, made in January 1953 when Radio Cairo was celebrating the first six months of the revolution. Initially, however, the statement was actually first recorded by an anonymous officer, whose Arabic, Omar says, was "shameful". In the evening of 23 July, the statement was re-recorded by a famous radio presenter of the time, Galal Mawaad"
