Armed Forces men are still defending their country in Sinai: Sisi

CAIRO – 25 May: President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi said on Friday that the Armed Forces are still the same men who achieved the victory of the October War in 1973, doing their national duty towards their country at all times, and defending it from the current terrorism in Sinai.

Sisi added during the anniversary of the 10th Ramadan victory in Mushir Tantawy Mosque at 5th Settlement, New Cairo that the Armed Forces men will always stay faithful and loyal to their country, giving everything to defend it.

Sisi headed this morning to the Mushir Tantawy Mosque to attend Friday prayers, accompanied by major chiefs of the Armed Forces.

Sisi commemorated the anniversary of the 10th Ramadan victory, known in Israel as Yom Kippur War, where Arab coalition forces defeated the Israeli forces occupying Arab territories in Egypt and Syria in 1973.

The prayers are attended by Minister of Defense Sedki Sobhi, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Mohamed Farid and other key commanders of the Armed Forces.

Egypt's Mufti Shawki Allam has greeted President Sisi, the minister of defense and armed forces personnel on the 10th of Ramadan war victory anniversary.

In a speech to the Egyptian people on Friday, Allam said the victory will remain a turning point in Egypt's history.
