Ceyhan .. What she said about Sadat and the presidents of Egypt on the anniversary of October 6

The widow of the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat revealed that her husband "confessed to Dr. Gaber Asfour that he was tearing up as he saluted the flag of Israel" during his controversial visit to Israel in November 1977.

In an interview with Al-Ahram newspaper on the anniversary of the October War, Jihan Sadat recounted the details of the moments of terror she experienced during Sadat's conflict with his opponents, to the extent that she closed the door with the key for fear of their coming and kidnapping, and her opposition to the September 1981 decisions of the campaign of mass arrests Sadat against opponents, and its role in bringing Sadat and his liberal and leftist opponents.

Cihan also told Sadat about the most difficult moment in her life when she saw the defendants accused of killing Sadat, Abboud al-Zomor and Tariq al-Zomor, sitting in the first rows on the podium in the October celebrations in the time of the «Brotherhood».

"Her husband was treated at home before the October 1973 war very calmly, and there was no nervousness or confusion," Sadat said. "This was not an amnesty but a directive." US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger then wrote that when he watched Sadat walk or talk He was relieved to say to himself that this man could not make a decision to war, and that he - Sadat - only meant to enjoy his life at the time of his presidency, according to Kissinger's perception, and that she later learned that «these pictures are only a means of deception to the Israeli army», "She knew of war only on the night of October 5, when he was asked to prepare his bag."

"The Sadat figure is an adventure," she said. "But the October war was not. It was a planned and thoughtful decision," she said.

Saad Eddin Abrihem, and Dr. Gabar Asfour, and that when she was studying at Cairo University «professors of the left attacking Sadat, and tell her we love you but we do not like Sadat», and therefore «gathered them in a meeting with the President, in conclusion, he said .. why".
