National Security: How did we get here? Abdullah Al – Sanawi

Given the possibility of partition now visible on the fire scenes in the Arab Mashrab and other Arab regions, the questions arise: why has the Arab world broken and lost confidence? in himself and in his future after his dreams flew away long ago? .. How did we get into the nightmare? Where is the destiny?
On February 22, 1958, the Syrian-Egyptian unit was the culmination of the ascent of the Arab world and the assertion of its national security and its right to immunity.
It was not a summer trip, as long as open clashes extended deep on the Arab map, linked to the liberation of colonialism, dependence and the independence of the national decision. Battles opposed the American policy to fill the void in the region after the great political defeat of the British and French empires. Israel during the Suez War (1956).
The value of "Gamal Abdel Nasser" in history indicates that he has expressed the idea that Egypt can be strong and strengthen the Arab world, and that this idea does not come historically in Egypt, but only a quarter of hour every hundred years, according to the late journalist "Mahmoud Awad".
The expression is metaphorical, but expresses, in one way or another, a fact that can not be ignored: the power of Egypt to enter and exit from his Arab world leads to his isolation and undermines his self-confidence, as well as the weakening of the Arab world and the destruction of his national security.
First of all, let us not forget that the modern Arab idea originated in the Arab Mashreq, which is now subject to sabotage of its capabilities and hovers over the ruins of possible partition maps for counteract the "titrik" policy. He has also integrated Muslims and Christians into an unusual intellectual, cultural and political fabric. And one of the fundamental reasons at present for destabilizing the internal unity of many Arab countries is the absence of any integration project based on the rules of citizenship and equality before the law between its components. and its diversification.
Secondly, we must not forget that the national trend in its first objectives ran counter to the Arab League project that had been launched in the mid-1940s, convinced that its purpose was to preserve the reality of the fragmentation of the world. Arab States and to make "regional states" the last barrier against the "only Arab State".
In the Sykes-Picot agreement of a hundred years ago, countries and other countries were divided and the Arab League seemed to be a political incubator of fragmentation and division.
British support for the Arab League project has been questionable and questionable.
It was the pre-July conflict of ideas and policies that set the tone on the ground for the idea of ​​Arabism in its modern sense.
Now, the summit of Minne preserves the boundaries of "Sykes Pico", and maintaining the possibility of partition in the states of the region so as not to lose all hope in a future.
The survival of the Arab League is in itself a hope: if it is destroyed, a new regional order creating the Arabs is the weakest party.
Third, let us not forget that the 1948 Nakba of Palestine was a major motive for the Arab idea and unity.
In shock, important reviews of what happened and what could have happened resulted in an influx of blood, both anger and hope, in the veins of the ## 147 ## # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # 39, Arab idea.
Many groups and great elites are firmly convinced that Arab unity is our way of liberating Palestine, which is linked to the issue of development and social justice and, in this broad sense, to the central question of the Arabs.
The disintegration of the Palestinian cause has resulted in the dismantling of one of the most powerful Arab ties and the decomposition of everything has become the basis of national security under the guillotine.
Fourth, let 's not forget that Egypt gained its full national independence in the Suez war thanks to the blood bills and courage of its sons who rushed to take up arms in front of the country. British, Franco-Israeli aggression, and not to "the evacuation agreement" signed by Nasser in 1954.) And included concessions that would give British troops the right to return to the base of the Suez Canal, if some of his allies were in danger.
It is no coincidence that Egypt has become the leader of the Arab world and the African continent and has risen to the rank of leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement after the epic of the Suez War.
There are no roles without costs, costs, requirements and any other allegations of bluffing.
The results of the Suez war two years later led to the Egyptian-Syrian unification, which did not last long with the impact of the plot and the errors of the experiment it -even.
It is generally said: "No war without Egypt, no peace without Syria".
His health was proven during the Arab-Israeli conflict.
With the realities of geopolitics, if Syria falls, Egypt will be undermined and the entire Arab world will lose immunity preventing the dismantling of its countries and the manipulation of its destiny.
Fifth, we must not forget that after the war of October 1973, successive US administrations worked to separate the colonization routes and adopt partial solutions with each state in order to dismantle the so-called unity of the position Arabic until the conclusion of a "century agreement".
When Egypt emerged from the Arab-Israeli conflict by a unilateral solution to the Camp David agreement, its roles in the Arab world, as in Africa and the Third World, were left out.
There are voices here in Egypt who question Arabism and the battles fought by July, and call for neutrality with the problems of the Arab world.
It has been said that Egypt would not fight before the last Egyptian soldier for Palestine.
It was a testimony to the truth: Egypt has been fighting for Egypt before anything else.
Refraction has been consecrated as the last word in history, but in the end, the facts will be revealed: there is an Arab country, but it is torn apart and humiliated.
Between the dream of unity and the nightmare of division, there is a long and painful story in which all the problems have been ruined, all the sins committed and the taboos of national security abolished.
