President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi welcomed the guests of the World Youth Forum,
addressing Noble Prize Laureate Nadia, who spoke about the raping of Yazidi
women. The President said that the first recommendation of the conference that
we will address to the whole world is our recognition of the crime Daesh has
committed against the Yazidis.
"In Egypt, 30 million Egyptians moved in order to say no to religious
discrimination and fanaticism," Sisi said. "We address the whole
world and reject extremism, discrimination and racism."
The youth at the World Youth Forum in Sharm el-Sheikh interrupted President
Abdul-Fattah al-Sisi during the opening of the forum on Saturday evening, which
is being held under his patronage, and will continue until November 6.
The young people who participated in the World Youth Forum shouted and said,
“We love you, President.” The President replied: "I love you all and
God."
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was profoundly affected during the speech of the
Iraqi girl Nadia, of Yazidi religion, because of her account of the crimes and
tragedies suffered by the Yazidis.
During her speech at the opening of the World Youth Forum in Sharm el-Sheikh on
Saturday, Nadia revealed that there are more than 6,000 women and children who
have been seized by the terrorist organization and subjected to physical
torture, buying and selling in the 21st century.
The Iraqi girl said she still remembered the words of President al-Sisi:
"Nadia, evil never wins."
President Al-Sisi paid tribute to all participants in the World Youth Forum in
Sharm El-Sheikh, following the opening of the memorial commemorating humanity
on the precious Sinai land on the sidelines of the forum.
"Sharm el-Sheikh is the East and West, the destination of peace seekers,
the land of God and the prophets, and I express my great thanks and gratitude
to all those present at the World Youth Forum," Sisi said at the opening
session of the forum.
"The president said that the youth of Egypt are the ones who drafted the
first letters in the book of Egyptian civilization, pointing out that the
enthusiasm of youth confirms their determination to lead the future during the
coming period.
President Sisi said that the Egyptian youth has been able to counter terrorism
during the past period with art and culture before holding the weapon, and
worked to start building the nation with an accelerated plan racing time.
"The youth of Egypt is the most important figure in the battle of
nation-building that Egypt is waging in the midst of the many challenges that
beset nations and civilizations around us," Sisi said.
President Sisi also called upon the youth of Egypt to hold a constructive
dialogue at the World Youth Forum, urging them to pursue their dreams.
The President said that he will work with the Egyptians to spread the message
of building, development and justice, armed with the blessings of the unique
Egyptian civilization, and its distinguished personality. "Long live
humanity. Long live civilization."
The President announced that he will support the initiative of the Egyptian
youth to return to humanity and work to establish the rules of peace and love
and to be aligned with the human civilization dialogue based on the teachings
of the tolerant religions.
Al-Sisi said: "In this place, a first brick was erected for a memorial
that reminds us that God has entrusted life to the hearts of human beings and
we have to preserve the trust of God in our hearts. I will work with Egyptians
to spread the messages of building, development and justice. ... and we will
say it together: “Long Live Humanity, Long Live Peace and Long Live
Civilization.”
