 This week the late president Anwar El-Sadat is being remembered with much awe and admiration. He was a man of peace, but he was also a valiant man of war who led Egypt to victory on 6 October (10 Ramadan) 1973. I fondly recall his trademark pipe, his strong features and dark skin. For some El-Sadat was Egypt personified. parent page (6 - 12 October 2005, issue #763) |
