Dr. Seddik Afifi, President of Thebes Educational Institutions and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Merritt University, renewed his congratulations to the Egyptian people on the glorious October victory anniversary, stressing that it restored Egypt and the Arab nation its pride and dignity, and it was a strong start for Egypt to restore all its lands... He added that there is an important principle that we must all believe in:
I dreamed boldly..plan meticulously..implemented meticulously. This is what President Anwar Sadat implemented, who dreamed that we would defeat Israel in 1973 after what happened in 1967. He planned meticulously. The specialists also camouflaged and executed perfectly and was able to achieve the dream of defeating Israel, a dream that many believed that he would not win, and that he would commit suicide with that thought..
Therefore, these are the qualities of a successful leader, and Sadat has many qualities, but the most important of his qualities is concealment at the time of war, even from those closest to him. He added: We have previously hosted the symposium of the late Dr. Jihan El-Sadat, who confirmed that she did not know the date of the October war and that the late leader Muhammad Anwar El-Sadat even concealed this news from his family, and this is something that deserves appreciation.
