Gamal Abden-Nasszer idézet

Gamal Abden-Nasszer minden idők egyik legismertebb és egyik legkarizmatikusabb arab politikusa, Egyiptom második köztársasági elnöke. Az arab nacionalizmus egyik prominens képviselője az 1950-es és 60-as években. Saját, iszlámtól független, arab nacionalista ideológiája, a nasszerizmus jelentős hatást gyakorolt a Közel-Kelet modernkori történetére. Az el nem kötelezettek mozgalmának egyik fő szervezője. Nevéhez fűződik a mintegy 72 évig tartó brit katonai jelenlét teljes felszámolása Egyiptomban. Wikipedia
