It was not a victory for Egypt by any means. In fact, the only reason Egypt got control of the Sinai back was by the peace treaty. This war took place in 1973. Egypt did not gain control of the Sinai back until 1982 after they signed the peace treaty in 1979. <br /><br />Israel made it onto the west bank of the Suez Canal and fought all the way to Ismalia. They had an entire Egyptian brigade surrounded in the Sinai. This had been a proxy war between the US and Soviet Union anyways with the Soviets supporting the Arab coalition and the US supporting Israel. <br /><br />With so many sources out there, I cant no believe the Egyptian people do not do the research and see the truth of the matter. Egypt didnt win a war. Instead they lost all those lives for a peace treaty with Israel. A treaty that still controls their military movements in the Sinai to this day, which in turn, means Israel still has some control over the Sinai. <br /><br />Now that Egypt has the Sinai back, what have they done with it in the past 30 years? Nothing. They forgot about it and have done nothing. There is virtually not infrastructure there with the exception of a few "cities". So they lost all those lives for what? Pride? I hope it was worth it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-21473808719918400632012-10-06T18:59:10.154+02:002012-10-06T18:59:10.154+02:00Dear Zeinobia,

One can celebrate Sinai joined Egypt again but celebrating war? In war people and the truth always die and that should be no reason to celebrate. In fact it should let us remember all those who lost their lives and it gives us the duty to support peace and the understanding of different people and countries.<br /><br />Last but not least, war does not show the greatness of a people. It is always a loss of humanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-48996757033022412012-10-06T16:47:27.210+02:002012-10-06T16:47:27.210+02:00You may be too young to remember, but it was this ...You may be too young to remember, but it was this war which led to the peace between Egypt and Israel. For more than 30 years there was peace, and it is unfortunate that Mubarak did not use this period to transform the economy of Egypt. Expatnoreply@blogger.com
