30 years of Peace

Some might call is a cold peace but then most importantly it is PEACE, Egypt has not been involved in a military conflict since...Egypt has managed to focus internally and although there is still a great way to go in terms of achieving the needed reforms in Egypt but then we have taken some strides economically and politically... It has been shown to the Arab World how what Sadat did in 1979 was the way to go and how that they are all looking towards a similar settlement...

Israel celebrates today the 3oth anniversary of the signed agreement and there has been about Egypt boycotting such celebrations, however, it has not. Egypt had decided not to celebrate the anniversary on its own soil though. I see this as understandable based on the latest Gaza offensive or the potential pick of the right wing Lieberman to head the foreign ministry in Israel. However, most importantly, for the stability of the Egyptian regime, this anniversary needs to go unmarked since most Egyptians, although satisfied with the lack of war are not enthusiastic about warmth in relationships between the two countries...

Whether Egypt celebrates or not...This is a day to be remembered as the day that has made the lives of 80 million people in contemporary Egypt lead a better life than the one they could have lead if not for the Camp David Peace Accords...

Happy 30th anniversary of peace in the land of the Nile!
