We did not need reasons to justify our eagerness to remember such historical stature that our nation experienced during the second half of the last century, more than those campaigns that have not stopped against man since his departure, and against his experience, approach and principles, which are campaigns that emphasize the importance of man, his influence and the effectiveness of his national role. And nationalist.
However, one of the compelling reasons is also that what our nation has witnessed since the departure of Gamal Abdel Nasser (September 28, 1970), that is, since half a century of events, developments and confrontations, was what required the evocation of man, his approach and his school to face challenges.
Abdel Nasser was not a system, despite the great national and national achievements of the Nasserist revolution and its regime, but a method, options and a model that could be emulated by the honorable nation and the free world.
Will Gamal Abdel Nasser forget his three loyalties (no negotiation, no reconciliation, no recognition) at a time when some fringe Arab rulers rushed to normalize relations with the enemy, amid widespread popular rejection across the nation?
Are we forgetting Abdel Nasser and his constant adoption of the resistance approach that “is here to stay and will remain”, and “what is taken by force can only be recovered by force” …? While we are surrounded by plots on all sides that point to the will of the resistance, its culture and its weapons in this nation from its surroundings to the Gulf.
Do we forget Gamal Al-Nasser and the positions of dignity he held, embodying the slogan that he raised since the beginning of the July 23 revolution: “Raise your head, my brother, the era of slavery is over”? And slavery here means tyranny and colonialism together.
And we forget about Gamal Abdel Nasser and the Arabism that carried his flag, and he fought his battles against alliances and colonial projects, at a time when they sought to consolidate the fragmentation of our Arab homeland, but rather to fragment our countries into sectarian, sectarian gangs. and ethnic, and he was the one who always emphasized that national unity is the prelude to national unity.
Are we forgetting Gamal Abdel Nasser, who lived clean and just and died just and clean? At a time when corruption, the looting of people’s money, the politics of starving citizens, and the subjugation of nations to poverty and poverty is the dominant characteristic of our rulers, our states, and our societies.
Are we forgetting Gamal Abdel Nasser, who introduced the terms “development and planning” into our intellectual, political and economic dictionary? While we live these days in a terrible collapse of development projects, and a dangerous marginalization of all planning that takes us out of the state of economic and social chaos in which we live …
Therefore, we are not talking about Gamal Abdel Nasser only as a beautiful memory of the past, but also as a necessary necessity to face the challenges of the present, and as a firm bridge to cross his ideas and options towards the future.
