Egypt is passing through a critical period of its history, as it faces internal and external threats, Secretary General of Wafd Party Bahaa Abu Shakka said. Abu Shakka added that the Egyptian parties should collaborate during the coming period as the nation is facing several internal and external threats. He signaled to the attempts adopted by a number of countries to interfere in Egypt's internal affairs. "Since 1919, Al Wafd have been a political and partial example and will remain devoted to its patriotic principles for the sake of the nation and the citizens," Abu Shakaa added.
