An unprecedented development boom in Sinai during the era of President Assisi
Sheikh Salama Salem, from the Dawaghar tribe, a former parliamentarian for Sinai Governorate, and a heritage researcher, said Al-Sinawi: It is necessary to take advantage of this great occasion to shed light on the history of the struggle and struggle of the people of Sinai to liberate the land so that the current generation knows it.
Sheikh Salama Salem added in exclusive statements to the Rosalyosuf portal: The land of Sinai has been known since ancient times to be the cemetery of invaders, where many wars took place, and it is known about Egypt that no enemy settles there, kills in it, or leaves it, and the Sinai tribes also have a long history of struggle and struggle. And resistance to the occupier, whether before or after the demarcation of the borders. During the 1948 war, many of the tribesmen were present in Gaza with our people in Palestine to resist the Jewish gangs and the Hagana gangs with the Egyptian army and the Palestinians. In 1956 and the tripartite aggression against Egypt, the people of Sinai had a role in repelling the aggression and defending Earth.
Sheikh Salama Salem said: In the year 1967, with the setback occurring and the withdrawal of our armed forces from the front, the role of the tribesmen at that time was to secure our soldiers by providing safe, unusual ways of withdrawal so that they would not be targeted by the enemy. They were secured during their crossing of the Suez Canal from One way, they crossed the mud plain until they reached Port Fouad, or by sea “via Lake Bardawil all the way to” To Port Said and hand them over to Military Intelligence.
During the War of Attrition after the 1967 War until the victories of October 1973, the Sinai Peninsula played an important role, as they were the eye examining and monitoring the enemy’s movements, in addition to carrying out specific operations behind enemy lines on the one hand, and striking enemy camps and vehicles on the other hand, in addition to providing the forces and the intelligence apparatus with all information about Enemy movements on the ground, and this was one of the reasons for the victories of the glorious October War.
If we want to link what our ancestors did and what the people of Sinai are doing now, they are following the same approach, so they took it upon themselves to fight and combat terrorism, as there were some terrorist hotspots in North Sinai, so they were eliminated and killed and the organization ended, and this was done in cooperation with our forces. The valiant armed forces.
On the development level in Sinai, of course, after the security stability, the situation changed a lot. The situation now has changed since the year 2014 since President Sisi took office, where he gave great attention to development in Sinai as well as the service aspects. He ordered the establishment of facilities, which we consider to be the arteries of life. We were also linked to the valley through tunnels. Suez Canal and ending isolation completely. In addition to establishing new cities to accommodate and settle the people of Sinai in partnership with the people of the valley, and establishing a number of development clusters, whether agricultural, industrial, or service, and fishing villages, in addition to rehabilitating and developing the port of Al-Arish and Lake Bardawil, which is considered a source of fish wealth.
I would like to conclude my speech and take advantage of this great occasion, which is the anniversary of the liberation of Sinai, by saluting President Sisi, who shouldered a great responsibility to preserve the country, and saluting our great armed forces for all the sacrifices they made, and finally, I extend all my salutations to our great people, who were and still are one hand with our army to preserve… On our land.
