 On the occasion of the 56th anniversary of the 23 July Revolution, I illustrated the three symbols of that memorable and groundbreaking event in the country's history -- Nasser, Sadat and Mubarak. I tried to search for the Pharaonic features in each of the three leaders. The revolution was Egypt's and even though it had ripple effects in Africa and the Arab world, it remains essentially Egyptian. God bless the revolution. parent page (24 - 30 July 2008, issue #907) |
