Amazing Egyptian icons lived in Algeria and praise its people: For that reason, Algerians are interested in the Egyptian events
When Algerians embrace the revolution of Egyptian honorable people which shook the world and the throne of Hosni Mubarak since a whole week, the event was not futile, but an extension of a common history between the two people for decades.
The amazing images of communications between Algerian and Egyptian youngsters via different forums and blogs, including Echoroukonline, have historic roots which confirm that the Algerian Egyptian ties are very strong, and the evidence is that everybody forgets the storm which blew over the last year.
Algerians, who opened their hearts now to the sons of Egypt modern revolution, have already opened doors to those who were chased by the legitimate father of Hosni Mubarak, assassinated President Anwar Sadat, including particularly Saad El Shazly, Lt. Gen, responsible for planning and implementing operations, chief architecture of the crossing war 1973, who refused to help Zionism, and revolt against Camp David treaty, thus Anwar Sadat decided to send him to exile and chose Algeria in 1978. He was 56 when he came to Algeria.
The Egyptian military commander entered retirement at an early age and found piece in Algeria’s comfortable atmosphere, where he wrote many works, including his memoirs about October War, the Arab Military Choice and the Crusades.
Saad El Shazly, who worked at the beginning of his career four years as Egypt ambassador abroad, has always said; “I will never forget Algeria’s good welcoming where I spent the most amazing days of my life at the time of President Houari Boumediene and Chadli Ben Jdid.
Saad El Shazly is the most powerful Chief of Staff in the history of Egyptian armed troops because he was able to achieve the historic crossing despite the Egyptian regime’s desire to realize an air strike to Mubarak, neglecting Saad’s plan and Engineering.
In the world of art, the genius Karam Moutawa spent three years teaching at the Institute of Fine Arts in Bourdj El Kifan, and also at the Higher Institute to train youth graduates in Tikesrine, Algiers, from 1972 to 1974. The giant of Theatre and Production came to Algeria at 50 at the top of his success after facing political troubles in Egypt, and in Algeria he planned for his masterpieces until he died in 1996, including his latest amazing film “The Forgotten” with Adel Imam.
It was said that Karam Moutawa, who married three women, an Italian, Souhir Al Mourshidi, and Magda Assem, was about to marry an Algeria, but his return to Cairo evaporated this marriage. Karam Moutawa who left Algeria at 63 said that Algeria is the country of art because it is a divine tableau without human touches.
In the world of literature, Algeria embraced the icon Ahmed Fouad Najm, who remained the most amazing poet. In the seventieth he escaped from oppression of Anwar Sadat, stayed several months in Algiers and visited different cities accompanied by the late Sheikh Imam.
Ahmed Fouad Najm rebelled against those who insulted Algerian martyrs last year and his age 83 did not prevent him from talking about Algeria and crying when Echorouk newspaper paid tribute to him last year.
Ahmed Fouad Najm married the Algerian artist Sonia Mikio, after Fatima Mansour and Oumaima Abdoulwahab.
The great guest, Sheikh Muhammad Al-Ghazali, visited Algeria several times, lived six years in Constantine, east of Algeria, and when he retired he left expressing big sadness because he lived, as he said, among his family in Algeria, especially because he was far from his relatives and sons.
Those were few Egyptians who faced troubles in their country, and were welcomed by Algerians, where they realized the most successful of their works, for that reason, Algerians are interested in the Egyptian events, it is a matter of nature of things and not for sophistication.
