Egypt’s Ministry of Immigration translates episodes of ‘El-Ekhteyar’ to raise national awareness

CAIRO - 14 June 2020: Egypt’s Ministry of Manpower and Immigration translated the last three episodes of the acclaimed Egyptian patriotic series “El-Ekhteyar” (The Choice) to both English and French.

This comes within the ministry's efforts to raise the national awareness of the Egyptian expatriates and help them to preserve their Egyptian identity.

We all love Egypt and its army but this series reminded us how deep this love is and how our Egyptian army men are sacrificing their lives daily to preserve our homeland's security, progress and prosperity.

This national epic united all the Egyptians with its credible content that gives us a brief, yet honest, look at the life, logic, thoughts and noble principals of our army soldiers, champions and martyrs.

"El-Ekhteyar" highlighted as well the dark terrorists’ principals and thoughts, which are based on blood, betrayal, and opportunism.

"El-Ekhteyar" is the first Egyptian series which managed to document and archive the several military operations that took place in Sinai against terrorists and the many Egyptian officers and soldiers who lost their precious lives in the battle.

Each episode presents a patriotic lesson and principal given by late great Egyptian martyr Ahmed el-Mansy and his colleagues, showing us the greatness of the Egyptian army.

Mansy is the commander of the Thunderbolt Forces, who was killed during the clashes between the Egyptian army forces and militants as the army besieged groups of terrorists and foiled attacks that targeted a number of other checkpoints in the Rafah area in North Sinai in 2017.

"El-Ekhteyar" introduces us to the human being deep inside this exceptional hero and why he was a Legend.

"El-Ekhteyar" houses a notable group of talented actors such as Amir Karara , Ahmed Elawady, Dina Fouad, Hanan Youssef, Sara Adel, Ahmed Fouad Selim, in addition to a notable group of guests of honor such as Eyad Nassar, Mohamed Emam, Salah Abdallah , Mohamed Ragab, Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, Asser Yassin, Amr Gamal, Maged el-Masry, Ahmed Wafik, among others. The series is written by Baher Dewidar and directed by Peter Mimi.
