Despite the sharp political division in Egypt since the military coup in the summer of 2013, the memory of the victory over Israel in the October 1973 War remains an influential event on the road to uniting the Egyptians and achieving consensus between them, which has become elusive in most current issues.

On the 47th anniversary of the war that broke out in the blessed month of Ramadan, during which the Egyptian army had triumphed over the Israeli occupation army, social networking sites witnessed an intense celebration of the Egyptians, whether they opposed the regime of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi or supporters of it.

Despite the disagreement over the outcomes and results of the October War, as well as the disagreement over the current role of the army, especially with regard to its interference in politics since the military coup led by Sisi, when he was defense minister in the summer of 2013, the celebration of victory remained the dominant feature of the comments of the pioneers of websites. Social Media.

Perhaps a day has come when we sit together, not to boast and boast, but to remember, study, and teach our children and grandchildren, generation after generation, the story of the struggle and its hardships, the bitterness of defeat and its pain, the sweetness of victory and its hopes.

The martyr Ibrahim al-Rifai is one of the most important names that fought in the midst of the battles on the land of Sinai, as he is the leader of the 39th fighting group that tasted the humiliation of the Israeli enemy on the land of Sinai, and al-Rifai remained in the face of the enemy until the breach occurred and was martyred in the midst of its events

In his speech on the occasion of the anniversary of October, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said, “The great October victory taught us that the Egyptian nation is always able to rise up for its rights and impose its respect on others. We have also learned that a right based on power supersedes his word and triumphs. In the end, the Egyptian people do not waste their land and are able to protect it. "

Al-Sisi saluted "every Egyptian mother who instilled in her children a firm belief, which is that the land cannot be given up, whatever the price."

Al-Sisi's talk about the ceding of land, sparked criticism from the pioneers of social media who recalled Sisi's ceding of the islands of Tiran and Sanafir in favor of Saudi Arabia, which made the Strait of Tiran become an international straits open to Israel, and it is the strait that ignited the spark of the 1967 war, after the decision of the late President Jamal Abd Al-Nasser closed it then.

Others talked about the suffering of the people of Sinai on the anniversary of the October victory, and some circulated a video of a demonstration in North Sinai demanding that the people return to their homes after the displacement they were subjected to, due to the escalation of military operations between armed men and the Egyptian army.

On the anniversary of the October War, may God have mercy on the martyrs whose blood was shed on the rest of the lands of the canal cities, in # Sinai and in the Strait of Tiran and Sanafir, those lands that recently dispersed parts of them by irresponsible leaders for political and personal purposes, Israel will remain the only enemy of our nation, and no one will and will not be able to change the constants. # 6_October
