#July23 : Remembering the forgotten

As we are have the 60th anniversary of the #July23 , as we debate whether we should celebrate it or not and we should cancel or not , I think we should remember the first president of Egypt General Mohamed Naguib.

Here is General Mohamed Naguib’s first statement in July 1952 in video.



General Naguib was the from the first victims of the #July23 and what happened to him was more than awful and disgusting, the first president to be treated in this way. His life was a tragedy and enough what happened to his sons. "From British Pathe"
Here is also another video about the crisis in Cairo and how Mohamed Naguib was on a tight rope.
Now for the first time I found what it can be the first and only interview in video with Naguib that was recorded in 1984.This interview was conducted by Shafe'e Shalaby, the former Egyptian TV host. It is more of a project by Shalaby who is known to be a nationalist. The former president in that clip said that he was sorry to authorize the execution of workers Khamis and Bakry , who led a strike in 1954 , it was famous incident. 

Unfortunately Naguib cried in the end. I think Shalaby should publish that part. I believe that SCAF read his memories very well and understood his mistakes especially Tantawy. Despite he was not elected , people should know the first president for the Egyptian Republic was President Mohamed Naguib. I hope that we manage to achieve what Mohamed Naguib wanted to do and fail to.
By the way it would have been strong message if the first elected president paid a visit to the first president of Egyptian republic’s forgotten tomb.
