CAIRO, July 23, 2018 - Many people, Egyptians and Arabs, visited late president Gamal Abdel Nasser's mausoleum in Cairo's eastern district of Kobri al-Qubba Monday on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the July 23 Revolution. They raised portraits of the late president and flags of Egypt and other Arab countries. Arabs from Lebanon, Iraq, the Sudan and Palestinian, who were also present, expressed their profound esteem for the July 23 Revolution and late president Nasser. Two of the sons of the late president were present at the place. On Sunday, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi paid profound tribute to the July 23 Revolution for having changed the face of life in Egypt and realised fundamental changes in all directions, thereby placing Egypt on the world political map. In a speech he delivered during a graduation ceremony for new batches of the cadets of the Air Academy, Air Defence Academy, Naval Academy, Military Technical College and the Technical Institute of the Armed Forces on Sunday, President Sisi emphasised that the July 23 Revolution effectively launched a new march of national action to realise the hopes of the great people of Egypt for the initiation of qualitative changes politically, economically and socially. President Sisi paid tribute to the leaders of the July 23 Revolution and lauded the late Nasser who led the Revolution for having sought as much as he could to express the hopes of Egyptians for building a free and independent homeland where social justice prevails.
