Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi said, on Tuesday, that wicked designs and threats against Egypt will never stop and will never decrease, even if their nature changes. He stressed the importance of saving people from the dangers of uncalculated political delusions.
In a televised speech marking the 47th anniversary of the 6 October War 1973, Sisi said that Egypt’s achievements over the years to maintain security and stability have been remarkable, and are well known around the world.
He, however, warned against the greedy ambitions and threats eyeing Egypt.
Sisi added that maintaining the security of a large country such as Egypt, particularly as it lies in a difficult region and unstable world, is evidence of the Egyptian people’s uniqueness and solidity.
He also said that it reflected the ability of the armed forces and state institutions to undertake such a mission and progress towards sustainable development.
He vowed to continue the work towards preserving national dignity and advancing construction, development, reconstruction, and peace.
“The great October victory taught us that the Egyptian nation is always able to rise up for its rights ... We also learned that the Egyptian people do not waste their land and are able to protect it,” Sisi said.
"The glorious October war was not just a military battle in which Egypt fought and achieved its greatest victory; it was, however, a real test for the Egyptian people's ability to make the dream come true,” he noted.
The president said the victory's anniversary Egypt celebrates “is reminiscent of the people's struggle for thousands of years.”
“Inspired by the sublimity of its past, Egypt has drawn a rightful path to follow in order to achieve its desired goals and the people's broad hopes,” he said.
In recent weeks, Egypt witnessed staged protests in some villages on the outskirts of Cairo following a call by the Muslim Brotherhood to demonstrate.
