Maj. Gen. Omar Suleiman: An Egyptian Model and an Example

Al-Masry Al-Youm, Egypt, August 14

Our nation never forgets its heroes and those who deserve credit for its revival. President Abd Al-Fattah El-Sisi’s decision to name the new bridge constructed at the Gamal Abdel Nasser neighborhood in Cairo after the late Maj. Gen. Omar Suleiman is a reflection of this commitment. It’s a well-deserved honor. Maj. Gen. Omar Suleiman was a true Egyptian patriot to his core. He lived and died for Egypt, and spent his entire life serving his nation. He led the Egyptian Intelligence Service, which played a pivotal role in protecting our country from both internal and external enemies and preserving our national security. The emblem of the General Intelligence Directorate consists of the famous Eye of Horus, which symbolizes the monitoring of all dangers. Directly beneath it is a powerful hawk that pounces on a poisonous snake to snatch it from the ground, representing the seriousness and commitment with which the Intelligence Directorate tackles dangers threatening our country. Maj. Gen. Omar Suleiman represented both. He bravely confronted Egypt’s enemies and stood guard over the Egyptian nation. Under his leadership, the General Intelligence Directorate played a great role in preventing the country from slipping into chaos. The Egyptian School for Intelligence gave rise to great leaders who played considerable roles in the history of our nation. It is therefore important to stop and remember the men and women who pledged their lives to the Egyptian homeland. President el-Sisi decided to honor great leaders, including a true hero, Maj. Gen. Omar Suleiman. – Hamdi Rizk (translated by Asaf Zilberfarb)
