Egyptian President Morsi visits soldier memorial ahead of Sinai Liberation Day
Ahead of Sinai Liberation Day on 25 April, President Mohamed Morsi offers tribute to those who fell in the Six Day War by visiting the Unknown Soldier Memorial in Cairo

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi visited the Unknown Soldier Memorial in Cairo's Nasr City on Wednesday ahead of the thirty-first celebrations of Sinai Liberation Day on 25 April.
President Morsi, along with Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Sedky Sobhi, visited the memorial and the grave of former President Anwar El-Sadat nearby.
President Morsi paid tribute to the 'souls of the martyrs' of the Six Day War in 1973. We salute those "who gave their lives to return the Sinai [Peninsula to Egypt] and are a great role model to Egyptians in the love of their homeland [and] its defence," he stated via Twitter on Wednesday.
On 25 April 1982, Egypt regained control of the Sinai Peninsula and it marked the final departure of the Israeli army from Sinai, which it had occupied since the Six Day War in 1967. This came following the 1973 war between Egypt and Syria against Israel. The regaining of the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt was ensured in the 1979 Camp David Peace agreement.
