Every day, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed shows
his love for Egypt with warmth feelings.
I still remember his words at our first meeting in
2009. It was in a conference of counterterrorism leaders, which held outside
the United States, and Abu Dhabi was the chosen destination.
Sheikh Mohammed welcomed and took us in a tour to
see a show for the UAE Special Forces. He has asked me an ironic question “Are
not you will stop supporting the Brotherhood? In fact, I was stunned for a moment,
I said to myself perhaps His Highness does not know my name and I remained
silent for a moment until he laughed, and tell me I know you well but I am just
joking with you.
With his words he broke the ice between us and I later
considered that Sheikh Mohammed has a special ability to enter your heart easily.
In the evening, His Highness invited me to meet with
him, we have talk about Egypt and Brotherhood.
“The appetite of this terrorist organization will
not stop for a moment in Egypt; they will try again and again. But we will do
our utmost to prevent them because I believe that Egypt is the “pillar of the
tent” for the Arab nation if it fell the whole area will fell” His Highness
told me.
Thus, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed considers Egypt. Of
course, I will not talk about his love for the Egyptians. Who went to the UAE will
realize the Emirati’s appreciation for Egyptians as professors, teachers,
engineers and doctors who contributed to the renaissance of the entire Gulf
region.
After 30 June, we formed a popular delegation of
Egyptian nationalists to meet HH Sheikh Mohammed and thank him for what he did
personally, and what the UAE did for Egypt and the Egyptians. We went to thank
him but he kept thank us for what we did to defense of the Arab nation. So he
said to us: You did not only defend your country, you also defended the whole
nation, “if the pillar of the tent falls, God forbid, the whole Arab world will
fell”.
In this short space, I will not be able to enumerate
what Sheikh Mohammed did to Egypt and the Egyptians and his strong friendship
with Al Sisi. But I just wanted to salute him as an Egyptian citizen for what
he did yesterday when he opened the donation to Egypt’s National Cancer Institute.
To send a message that Egypt and the UAE is “one hand”, in the face of all
dangers, foremost of which is the threat of terrorism.
