“What we do for ourselves dies with us, while what we do for others and for the world does remain immortal.” What man does for his country remains shining on the pages of national history. Although Egypt bid farewell to one of its political sons; Khaled Mohieddine, after long struggle for his country, he will always remain in the memory of the nation as one of the most prominent leftists.
Khaled Mohieddine began his career in the Egyptian Military Academy from which he graduated in 1940, then he participated in “Palestine War” in 1948. As a patriotic Egyptian bearing Egypt dearly in his heart, he did not hesitate to join the Free Officers Movement, which established Egypt’s independence as its sought after target, until July Revolution broke out in 1952, and he was a member of its Command Council. After a dispute arose with the late leader Gamal Abdel Nasser, Khaled Mohieddine left politics for a while in 1954 before travelling to Switzerland.
An Opposing Home Loving Man
Khaled Mohieddine’s giving had never been ceased: he returned to play a new national role through joining the National Assembly, standing for Kafr El Sheikh in 1957. He had played an obvious role in the establishment of several institutions, including Al Mesaa (The Evening) newspaper, the World Peace Council and the National Progressive Union Party in 1976. He as well occupied a number of positions, including: the first Chairman of the Private Committee, which was composed to coin solutions for the problems of the Nubians at the time of their displacement, the Chairman and the Editor in Chief of “Dar Akhbar Al Youm” 1964-1965. It shall not be forgotten that he was awarded the “Lenin Prize for Peace” in 1970.
Khaled Mohieddine was –and is still – one of the national pillars
which had defended democracy and social justice out of his deep love
for Egypt and its people.
May his soul rest in peace and may Egypt’s people be comforted.
