Nasser and Egypt Nasser and Egypt Introduction In the 1950s the Egyptian people were suffering from corruption, chaos, and disorganization caused by the ruling class and the political parties but nobody can do anything. It was on July 23, 1952 that the army took power, and in three days exiled King Farouk, and few days later announced the republic, abolished titles, arrested most politicians, and confiscated the properties of Mohammed Ali family. The Free Officers, under the chairmanship of Lieutenant Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser, were all in low military ranks. They chose as their leader the General Mohammed Naguib who was their senior and was critical of the corruption. After two years, Gamal Abdel Nasser took power and became the President of Egypt. The Free Officers Headed by Lieutenant Colonel Gamal Abd El Nasser chose General Mohammed Naguib as their leader Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918 –1970) was born in Alexandria, his father was a postal worker from Beni Mur in Upper Egypt. During attending secondary schools he strongly objected to the 1936 Anglo- Egyptian Treaty because it stipulated the continued presence of British military bases in the country. In fact, the Treaty stipulated that ordinary Egyptians were allowed to enter the army and it was in the same year that most of the Free Officers entered the Military College to become afterwards officers in the army. At the academy, Nasser met Abdel Hakim Amer and Anwar Al Sadat. After graduating in July 1938, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the infantry, and posted to Mankabad near Assuit in Upper Egypt. It was here that Nasser and his closest comrades, including Al Sadat and Amer, first discussed their dissatisfaction at widespread corruption in the country and their desire to topple the monarchy. Because of his energy, clear-thinking, and balanced judgement, Nasser emerged as the group's leader. In 1942 he was accepted into the General Staff College and began to form a group of young military officers with strong nationalist sentiments who supported some form of revolution. Arab–Israeli War In May 1948, following the British withdrawal from their mandate of Palestine, King Farouk sent the Egyptian army to the front with Nasser as a staff officer of an Infantry Battalion. During the war, his brigade was surrounded by the Israeli Army. Negotiations finally resulted in the ceding of Faluja to Israel. Revolution of 1952 After the war, Nasser returned to his role as an instructor at the Royal Military Academy. He tried to forge an alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood in October 1948, but soon concluded that their religious agenda was not compatible with his nationalism. Nasser felt that the Free Officers were not ready to move against the government and, for nearly two years, he did little beyond officer recruitment and underground news bulletins. On January 25, 1952, a confrontation between British forces and police at Ismailia caused 40 Egyptian policemen to die, provoking riots in Cairo the next day which left 76 people dead. Cairo was burning on January 26. In May, Nasser received word that King Farouk intended to arrest the Free Officers. But soon, the Free Officers seized control of all government buildings, radio stations, and police stations, as well as army headquarters in Cairo. The people fully supported the movement and the revolution was a great success. Difference with Naguib In January 1953, Nasser overcame opposition from Naguib because he banned all political parties, creating a one-party system under the Liberation Rally. He also introduced far-reaching land reforms to which Naguib disagreed. He removed Naguib. British withdrawal In March 1953, he negotiated a British withdrawal from the Suez Canal and by an agreement in July1954 they were forced to leave by June 1956. Moslem Brotherhood Following a 1954 attempt on his life by a Muslim Brotherhood member, he cracked down on the organization. Nasser became the undisputed leader of Egypt. The Suez crisis Nasser launched large industrial projects, including the Aswan Dam on the Nile River. In December 1955, US Secretary John Foster Dulles announced that the United States, together with Great Britain, was providing funds to Egypt to help in the construction of the Dam. However, few months later he declared that the American offer was being revoked. His real motivation was Nasser’s unceasing attacks on Western colonialism and imperialism. As a consequence Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal. The nationalization announcement was greeted very emotionally throughout the Arab world. The funds from the canal would be used for the construction of the dam. That same day, Egypt closed the canal to Israeli shipping. France and the UK, the largest shareholders in the Suez Canal Company, saw its nationalization is another hostile measure aimed at them. The UN Security Council met on the matter and adopted a resolution recognizing Egypt's right to control the canal as long as it continued to allow passage through it for foreign ships. Shortly thereafter, however, the UK, France, and Israel made a secret agreement to take over the Suez Canal, occupy the Suez Canal zone, and topple Nasser. In October 1956, British, French, and Israeli forces attacked Egypt, claiming that they were protecting the Suez Canal. On October 29, 1956, Israeli forces crossed the Sinai Peninsula, and quickly advanced to their objectives. Two days later, British and French planes bombarded Egyptian airfields in the canal zone. The incident nearly provoked a US-Soviet confrontation. Nasser ordered blockage of the canal by sinking or otherwise disabling forty-nine ships at its entrance. The US Eisenhower administration condemned the tripartite invasion, and supported UN resolutions demanding withdrawal and a United Nations Emergency Force to be stationed in Sinai. Nasser commended Eisenhower and by the end of December, British and French forces had totally withdrawn from Egyptian territory, while Israel completed its withdrawal in March 1957 and released all Egyptian prisoners of war. As a result, the invading forces withdrew from Egypt in early 1957 which was a great political victory for Nasser. As a result of the Suez Crisis, Nasser brought in a set of regulations imposing rigorous requirements for residency and citizenship as well as forced expulsions, mostly affecting British and French nationals and Jews with foreign nationality, as well as many Egyptian Jews. Some 25,000 Jews, almost half of the Jewish community, left in 1956, mainly for Israel, Europe, the United States and South America. After the fighting ended, Nasser's political position was enormously enhanced by the widely perceived failure of the invasion and attempt to topple him. Algerian independence During the eight-year-long Algerian struggle for independence against French rule, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser was a strong vocal supporter of the resistance movement and provided significant military aid to the National Liberation Front. This had prompted increasing French anger towards Nasser which, in addition to Nasser's nationalization of the Suez Canal, drove them to join the United Kingdom and Israel in an attack on Egypt during the Suez Crisis of 1956. Baghdad Pact The Baghdad Pact was formed in February 1955 with headquarters in Turkey between some regional allies of the UK. Nasser considered the Pact a threat to his efforts and a mechanism to perpetuate Arab subservience to Western imperialism. Arab socialism Between 1952 and 1956, most industry, manufacturing, trade and other services were nationalized. State control of foreign trade, progressive taxation and the seizure of property from 600 of the wealthiest families took place. School education was made free in 1956, with higher education following in 1962. Arms deal Nasser needed to acquire modern weaponry to arm his military. When it became apparent to him that Western countries would not supply Egypt under acceptable financial and military terms, he turned to the Eastern Bloc and concluded an agreement in September 1955 with Czechoslovakia. Through the Czechoslovakian arms deal Nasser's role as the Arab leader defying the West was enhanced. Bandung At the Bandung Conference in Indonesia in April 1955, Nasser was treated by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India and Zhou Enlai of China as the leading representative of the Arab countries and was one of the most popular figures at the summit. He had paid earlier visits to Pakistan, India, Burma, and Afghanistan on the way to Bandung, and previously cemented a treaty of friendship with India in Cairo, strengthening Egyptian–Indian relations on the international policy and economic development fronts. He sought a proclamation for the avoidance of international defense alliances, support for the independence of Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco from French rule, support for the Palestinian right of return, and the implementation of UN resolutions regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict. He succeeded to pass resolutions on each of these issues. Following Bandung, Nasser officially adopted the positive neutralism of Yugoslavian president Josip Tito and Nehru as the Egyptian foreign policy regarding the Cold War. Consequently, Nasser's prestige was greatly boosted. Nehru Zhou Enlai Tito Recognition of China Immediately after Bandung, Nasser recognized communist China on May 30, 1956 while USA recognition was in January 1, 1970 Murder in Iraq In July 1958 pro-Nasser army officers performed a coup that left Iraqi royalty dead and brought an end to a pro-Western regime there. They pulled their nation out of the Baghdad Pact and ended Iraq's treaty with Jordan, where trouble was brewing for another monarchy. Union with Syria Nasser was a popular political figure in the Arab world, particularly for his strides towards social justice and Arab unity, modernization policies and anti-imperialist efforts. In 1962, he began a series of major socialist measures and modernization reforms in Egypt. Calls for pan-Arab unity under his leadership increased, culminating with the formation of the United Arab Republic with Syria from 1958 to 1961.

  • A Message of Solidarity with Jeremy Corbyn from Palestine 8/11/2020
    A message of solidarity with Jeremy Corbyn from Palestine 8/11/2020 We the undersigned, express our solidarity with Mr. Corbyn following the unfair decision by the British Labour Party to suspend such a principled man. For all of us in Palestine, Mr. Corbyn's stands represented a principled path toward social justice and freedom for all human beings regardless of sex, race, faith, ideology or political views. We consider Mr. Corbyn’s position on Palestine cause as a moral compensation for the ethical responsibility Great Britain, as a mandatory power, bears for creating the Nakba and for its failure to abide by the League of Nation Charter (Article 22) to place Palestine on the path to independence and self-determination, while it succeeded remarkably in the implementation of the Balfour Declaration, whose 104th anniversary coincides with the unjust decision taken against Corbyn. We denounce the unfair accusations of anti-Semitism against Mr. Corbyn. We have always known Mr. Corbyn to be a strong fighter against racism including Anti-Semitism. We will always share his stands in fighting Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and all forms of racism. This is why we see these accusations as a malicious attempt to cover Israeli oppression, injustice and War Crimes which were, and are being, committed against us for long decades by Imperialism and colonial Zionism. We emphasize that exposing Israeli crimes against the Palestinians is not in any way a form of anti-Semitism. To cover Israeli crimes against the Palestinians is an insult to the memory of all innocent Jews who lost their lives in the Holocaust.

  • The Thistle and the Drone
    AKBAR AHMED HOW AMERICA’S WAR ON TERROR BECAME A GLOBAL WAR ON TRIBAL ISLAM n the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the United States declared war on terrorism. More than ten years later, the results are decidedly mixed. Here world-renowned author, diplomat, and scholar Akbar Ahmed reveals an important yet largely ignored result of this war: in many nations it has exacerbated the already broken relationship between central I governments and the largely rural Muslim tribal societies on the peripheries of both Muslim and non-Muslim nations. The center and the periphery are engaged in a mutually destructive civil war across the globe, a conflict that has been intensified by the war on terror. Conflicts between governments and tribal societies predate the war on terror in many regions, from South Asia to the Middle East to North Africa, pitting those in the centers of power against those who live in the outlying provinces. Akbar Ahmed’s unique study demonstrates that this conflict between the center and the periphery has entered a new and dangerous stage with U.S. involvement after 9/11 and the deployment of drones, in the hunt for al Qaeda, threatening the very existence of many tribal societies. American firepower and its vast anti-terror network have turned the war on terror into a global war on tribal Islam. And too often the victims are innocent children at school, women in their homes, workers simply trying to earn a living, and worshipers in their mosques. Bat- tered by military attacks or drone strikes one day and suicide bombers the next, the tribes bemoan, “Every day is like 9/11 for us.” In The Thistle and the Drone, the third vol- ume in Ahmed’s groundbreaking trilogy examin- ing relations between America and the Muslim world, the author draws on forty case studies representing the global span of Islam to demon- strate how the U.S.

The President was Gamal Abdel Nasser. During most of its existence (1958–1961) it was a member of the United Arab States, a confederation with North Yemen. The UAR adopted a flag based on the Arab Liberation Flag of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, but with two stars to represent the two parts. This continues to be the flag of Syria. In 1963, Iraq adopted a flag that was similar but with three stars, representing the hope that Iraq would join the UAR.

  • Rethinking the Six Day War: an Analysis of Counterfactual Explanations Limor Bordoley
    Limor Bordoley Rethinking the Six Day War: An Analysis of Counterfactual Explanations Limor Bordoley Abstract The Six Day War of June 1967 transformed the political and physical landscape of the Middle East. The war established Israel as a major regional power in the region, while the Israeli territorial acquisitions resulting from the war have permanently marred Israel’s relationship with its Arab neighbors. The May crisis that preceded the war quickly spiraled out of control, leading many to believe that the war was unavoidable. In this paper, I construct three counterfactuals that consider how May and June 1967 might have unfolded differently if a particular event or person in the May crisis had been different. Ultimately, the counterfactuals show that war could have been avoided in three different ways, demonstrating that the Six Day War was certainly avoidable. In the latter half of the paper, I construct a framework to compare the effectiveness of multiple counterfactual. Thus, the objective of this paper is twofold: first, to determine whether war was unavoidable given the political climate and set of relations present in May and June 1967 and second, to create a framework with which one can compare the relative persuasiveness of multiple counterfactuals. Introduction The Six Day War of June 1967 transformed the political and physical landscape of the Middle East. The war established Israel as a major regional power, expanding its territorial boundaries and affirming its military supremacy in the region. The Israeli territorial acquisitions resulting from the war have been a major source of contention in peace talks with the Palestinians, and has permanently marred Israel’s relationship with its Arab neighbors.
