A flag for October

---

In commemoration of the 6 October 1973 victory, some 1,000 youths of the Gezira Youth Centre in the heart of Cairo hoisted the Egyptian flag, but this was an exceptional national banner: the flag is 140 metres long and 10 metres in breadth. The youth, who were not born during the war, hope that the flag will make it into the Guinness Book of Records (see p.2)
