CAIRO – 16 September 2020: The Egyptian president in remarks to people on Wednesday has again warned against attempts by “evil powers” to “destroy the state” through campaigns that seek to make people question national achievements.

 

This came while President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has inaugurated a number of educational projects, including Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology in Alexandria’s city of Borg El Arab. The inauguration ceremony was also attended by the premier, the parliament speaker and many of the ministers.

 

Sisi said some states and parties have decided to fund platforms that claim they seek to make good changes, while their “hidden face is destruction”.

 

These political currents aim at “destroying the nation, ditching it, impairing [the conditions] of people and bringing back camps and refugees. We had been inactive for 60 years and [therefore,] we cannot overcome what we are in. You want to destroy us so that we stand still for 150 years?” the president said.

 

 

The president thanked nations who have supported Egypt during the hard circumstances, calling on “others, please, spare us the tongue of lies and doubts. Keep the money that God has granted you for construction and reform, not for us but for you”.

 

“We, thanks to God Almighty, will do every good thing for our nation so that the world would be astonished of what we have done. They will ask how is that done? … It is done by God.”

 

Sisi recited a verse of Quran, saying: “Indeed, Allah does not amend the work of corrupters” – 10:81 [Sahih International]. Saying that “we, god willing, are reformers”.
