Good morning, Sinai: A look at the headlines when Israel withdrew in 1982
A selection of headlines from daily newspaper Al-Ahram to mark Sinai Liberation Day on 25 April

As Egypt prepares to mark Sinai Liberation Day on 25 April, Ahram Online takes a look back at some of the headlines in state-owned Al-Ahram daily newspaper at the time of the 1973 war and the 1982 withdrawal of Israeli forces from the peninsula.

Al-Ahram, 27 April 1982

“Egyptian soldiers are greeted with cries of joy as they return to Rafah after 15 years.”
“In Sharm El-Sheikh, the Bedouins came out to see the city they were denied access to over the last 15 years.”
“Al-Ahram talked to members of Al-Mazina and Al-Tarabini tribes, who live in the mountains and valleys of Sharm El-Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba, Taba, Ras Nosrani and Ras Mohamed. They explained how at the beginning of the Israeli occupation in south Sinai, the Israeli government cancelled all Egyptian laws prior to 1967…. and how they forced Bedouins to migrate to the mountains and valleys, prohibited fishing in Suez and Aqaba Bay, and limited the Bedouins' movement. Now that Egypt has regained its sovereignty over the liberated parts of south Sinai, fear and tyranny are gone forever.”
