He never knew or even imagine that that air forces hard working officer would be occupying the same position he used to occupy and that he would stay in his place even more than longer than him by decades !!! And that he would try to inherit that place to his own son !!
Nasser did not know it then , did not know the irony of fate that because of his promotion to this man , Hosni Mubarak after 1967 and that the later in the end would be the President of Egypt !!
After 1967 Nasser made a surprise visit to the air forces academy and on that day there was no one in the academy except Mubarak from the staff, Nasser was angry from the staff except from Mubarak whom he believed he should be promoted and return back to the Air forces. The Air forces after 1967 had to restructured again , already its first commanders and first officers were in Amar team which lost in the defeat. This is how Mubarak began his actual trip to the Egyptian presidency.
Today marks Hosni Mubarak’s birthday , I wish I can say Happy birthday Mr. President but I just can’t .
How I can I wish him Happy birthday too when he turned 80 millions Egyptian to hell and misery. I can wish him happy retirement but he dont want it, he want to take Egypt with him to his grave!
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it, Egypt could have been a lot worse if it wasn't for him. Who knows what will happen to Egypt when he is gone! People in Egypt always like to blame the government for everything, and forget that most of the things they don't like originate not from the government, but from the average citizen.
ReplyDelete7alloof is very wise. Egyptians would do well to consider his advice.
