Atallah’s fifth point is very telling.
I’ve lived through many of these kind of dramatic events: 1952 revolution, which deposed the king; the burning of much of downtown Cairo; the tri-partite attack on Egypt in 1956 by the Israelis, French, and British following the nationalization of the Suez Canal (a bomb fell in our garden); the nationalization of all capitalists when my family lost all their properties and were terribly humiliated—my pediatrician was tortured to death in jail during that time; the brutal assassination in 1981 of President Sadat after he made peace with Israel; the security forces’ rampage, which caused much damage around the city and a strong earthquake in 1992, etc. So though this situation is volatile and unstable, we’ve lived through similar crises and its not time to panic or leave the country.
