I’m a Nigerian living in Egypt around Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis in New Cairo. He’s one of the African leaders that fascinate me. I wonder why people like him are not thought about in African Schools. He’s one of the Modern African leaders that fought for African freedom. May his soul continue to rest in peace.

Fought for Arab world not Africans. We don't recognize his achievements in the south of Africa.

​@@user-zc1cx8jc4sHe was Pan-Arabist but also fought for all Africans rights.

Nasser is not taught in African schools due to cultural imperialist influence in some, but not all post-colonial African countries.

I'm Egyptian and a huge fan of this channel and this documentry was on point

[@rashidal-banna6082]

Yes, it seemed fair and relatively balanced. I think it laid out a decent balance sheet of Nasser's pluses and minuses, his achievements and failures. After watching the video and thinking deeply about each part of it, I must conclude that while he was the modern Arab (and African leader) who cast the longest shadow, I cannot say that he was a great leader like Salahaddin Ayubi in his time. With respect to the decolonization of Africa, I have little doubt that his striking a blow against British colonialism and by extension French colonialism (by supporting the Algerian FLN), he opened the road to the decolonization of the rest of Africa south of the Sahara because the European colonial powers were made to realize by Nasser that the old days of imperialist colonialism had drawn to a close and their overseas empires were not sustainable. Nasser inspired other Africans to take their destinies in their own hands and acted as a role model along, of course, with greats like Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyere and Jomo Kenyatta. Nasser's non-alignment was wise, but his excessive monopolization of power both within Egypt and within the erstwhile pan-Arab unions were his undoing in my opinion.

Nasser was one of the greatest leaders in Egyptian history. He was the only leaser in Egyptian history who supported the poor people. He achieved success in providing education, health services, housing assistance, jobs to al lEgyptians. He is the only leader all over the history of human beings who gained the love of his people. His funeral was the biggest all over the history of the human race.

[@rashidal-banna6082]

Brother Khaled, with all due respect I think you got a bit carried away there with your love of President Nasser. Was he a great and popular modern Arab leader, definitely yes. Was he the only leader in human history to gain the love of his people, surely not. Was his funeral the biggest in human history? Who knows? I wasn't there at all the other huge funerals in history.

I watched Shaka's video. Good work; then I searched for the play list. Interestingly you have a group for "communist dictators" but more interestingly you don't have a group for "capitalist neo-liberal dictators" like Pinochet to say one, or "imperial capitalists" like Obama. May be in the future when they come up. Is interesting how people tends to group things.

[@TrailrunnerTroy]

Thank you - Thanks to Nasser’s vainglorious tyranny, my late Dad emigrated to the USA in 1957 with just $100. As Dad said, every day in America was a great day by comparison.

[@rashidal-banna6082]

Honestly, in any and every revolution there are winners and losers. Regretfully, your dad seemed to have been one of the losers, perhaps because his property was confiscated by Nasser's government. I don't know your dad's personal circumstances, so I have no further comment to make about that. However, from the standpoint of the Arabs, Africans, Latin Americans and Asians, not to mention people of color in the USA, the US Government is no hero. Today, with our Gazan brothers and sisters being slaughtered in Palestine thanks to Genocide Joe, we have lost whatever respect with might have had for the US Government. In contrast, despite his faults and errors, many of them common to leaders in the post-colonial states of the Global South, Nasser was still a great man who built up Egypt and gave pride to Egyptians, Arabs, Africans and many others in the Global South.

His dictatorship destroyed any hope for a modern democracy in Egypt for good . Most of the Egyptian brilliant minds in science , medicine, engineering, and even business have emigrated to the west thanks to his political and economic views

[@rashidal-banna6082]

Have those Egyptian "leaders" who preceded and followed him done any better in creating a modern democracy in Egypt or have they done as bad or worse in your humble opinion? Be honest and objective if you can. Also, please keep in mind that until today there is no country anywhere among the post-colonial states of the Global South with a stable, sustainable democratic system with full respect for the human rights of the citizens. That is the legacy of colonialism and internal contradictions in these states. Is there a reverse brain drain in some of the dictatorial states of the Global South? Yes. Look at China for example and there are others.

[@OmarHatem-tp8hg]

I am an Egyptian, and I don't agree with this man for some of the things he had done and resources of Egypt he wasted for his dreams.

[@rashidal-banna6082]

Please see my comments. Let's take a balanced vew of President Nasser, considering both his achievements and failures. Compared to those who preceded and followed him, he seems far superior. At least he wasn't a stooge of the US and Israel like Sisi is. Did he have political prisoners and a lousy human rights record? Absolutely. However, he never turned the Egyptian Army against the people of Egypt the way Sisi has.

[@OmarHatem-tp8hg]

@@rashidal-banna6082 Excuse me, but you might not be fully aware of the situation and history in Egypt. Initially, Nasser was hailed by the Arab League but posed challenges for Egyptians. He advocated for pan-Arab unity and engaged the Egyptian Army in conflicts that weren't necessarily in Egypt's best interests. If Nasser were in power today, he might have fallen into the trap set by Iran to fight the occupation in Palestine "Alone", potentially sparking a conflict that would draw the West into confrontation with Egypt. That's why SiSi's approach appears astute; he recognized the dangers posed to Egypt and avoided falling into the same pitfalls. It's important to note that the Egyptian army has never turned against its own people. Instead, it plays a crucial role in safeguarding the nation, fostering development, ensuring security, and defending our borders. The unity between Egypt and its army was evident when they collaborated to expel the spies Brotherhood gang from the country, a group that still holds animosity towards the army.
