5 centuries ago, the Al Mazina tribe settled in Egypt after its displacement from the land of the Hijaz.
And the tribe chose the land of South Sinai, to be in an environment close to that of the desert coming from it.
The tribe has three grandfathers, Alwan, Faraj, and Tarfa, and from Alwan, Al-Dahshan was the great-grandfather of the Amna of the Ismaili Fedayeen, and the first woman to obtain a weapon license in Egypt, to protect her land and plow, so she lived as a hero and died without a decent honor.
At the age of 96, Amna Al-Dahshan passed into the mercy of God after a life full of redemption, sacrifice, and strength that she did not leave even in her last years.
23 years, from the beginning of the fifties until the October war, no safe weapon left her hand, with which she participated in the tripartite aggression, then the 1967 War, then October and the Hole.
She did not leave the Ismailis and decided to stay with the fedayeen, she supported them with weapons and supplies, exposed to death at every moment, and only said what pleases God: "A free woman does not flee from her land."
Amna Al-Dahshan was born on November 16, 1925, the first woman in Egypt to obtain a gun license, to repel British attacks on her land.
After the 1936 treaty and the stationing of British forces in Ismailia, Amna had an important role in assisting the fedayeen in their attacks on the British camps, for she was helping to transport the weapon through the checkpoints, hiding it in her clothes, or in the vegetable cart that the British were deluding to sell.
Amna and Umm Radwan, two of the most famous Ismaili women, are in their twenties.
The two did not search for marriage and childbearing, but they had the last role written in letters of light in the history of Ismailia Governorate, so they kidnapped British soldiers and handed them over to the fedayeen to kill them. Under the command of the resistance, whether to hide the weapons or hide the fedayeen.
Amneh Al-Dahshan's positions did not end, even after the July revolution, as she refused to be displaced during the tripartite aggression against Egypt, and remained in Ismailia amidst the ruins from which the men fled, but she continued to protect her for the heroes of the popular resistance, after she joined their ranks.
In the 1967 war, she used to receive soldiers returning from the front, treating, feeding and sheltering them, until the end of the war.
In the War of 73, its last battle against the Israelis was in the breach.
Amna continued in the political and popular leadership and general political work in the governorate, until the arm grew out, and the head turned white and the crown of honor over her head, and her life ended in silence, while the Egyptians mourned "the Egyptian Jamila Bouhaired".
