The Egyptian Journalists Syndicate and a number of colleagues intervened after informing the journalist’s neighbors They were informed of the incident and began burial procedures, while Aswat Al-Saud called for the formation of an operations room to act in such cases, especially since the press and cultural scene witnessed before the departure of creators in similar situations.

Residents of the Mahatta area in Giza discovered the departure of journalist Ali Ibrahim, who resides in a separate room because he was not married, retired from society, and did not join newspapers or work after his dismissal from the Egyptian newspaper “Al-Ahly.” His friends said that they had not communicated with him for a long time, and that he chose to isolate from Society because of his illness and poor eyesight, and his desire for a life of solitude.

Neighbors tried to contact his family, but they failed. They called two numbers of two friends of his and found them on his phone, who in turn informed the union. Union council member Ayman Abdul Majeed, journalists and union employees moved in, where they were able to complete the burial procedures, including finding a cemetery.

Ali Ibrahim was one of the activists of the Egyptian student movement in the seventies, where he became involved in the national and democratic political work in the ranks of the left, and graduated from the Faculty of Information in 1976 to work as a press editor at the State Information Service, and then moved to the newspaper Al-Ahali, the mouthpiece of the Tagammu Party. The National Progressive Unionist, and also worked in several Arab newspapers.

The former presidential candidate, Hamdeen Sabahi, mourned his colleague Ali Ibrahim, who was in his class at the College of Media. Sabahi said on his Facebook page: "May God have mercy on you, Ali, and compensate you for what you have suffered throughout a difficult life. There is no power or strength except in God."

A member of the Political Bureau of the Nasserite Party, Ramadan Baghdadi, wrote, commenting: “Ali Ibrahim .. was full of hearing and sight in the seventies, he was a beautiful young man who fought with his pen in the wall magazines, Sawt al-Jama’a newspaper, al-Tali’a, Rose al-Youssef, and Sabah al-Khair.

Many predicted a bright future for him as a journalist due to his ability to analyze politically.

May God have mercy on a man who lived free and honorable, did not hypocrisy and did not flatter.. He died in a rented room, blind with eyesight, and possessing nothing of his strength except what fills his eye.”

Journalist Muhammad Hammad said: "The circulating story of the death of our late journalist colleague, Ali Ibrahim, is painful and excruciating, revealing that the society of journalists is no longer well, and the press community is no longer on its old human interdependence, everyone is preoccupied with their concerns and life's difficulties."

“This tragedy reminded me of the way in which my great journalist colleague and friend, Magdi Kamel, the former deputy editor-in-chief of Al-Akhbar newspaper, as well as my teacher, and perhaps the professor of an entire generation, the great journalist Mahmoud Awad Ahad,” wrote journalistic writer Mohamed Al-Says, former deputy editor-in-chief of Al-Ahrar newspaper. The giants of “Akhbar Al-Youm” and the former editor-in-chief of Al-Ahrar newspaper, these and others, journalists, celebrities and artists were and still are full of hearing and sight.

They died alone, no one knows anything about them, and most of them either did not marry or are separated from their wives and children, or vice versa with their husbands, because the issue does not only happen to men, as the same thing happened to female journalists and artists in the same way, I am just sounding the alarm.”
