You should resolve whatever personal problem you may have with the military establishment in your mind. The "three wars" that you claim are proof of whatever fictitious point you are alluding to show that you know very little about national/military dynamics. The first war was in 1948, i.e. during the time of the monarchy when Egypt still had tens of thousands of British troops on its soil and an ill trained and ill equipped army. The second war (1956) was against two world superpowers and their proxy. One of the reasons for the launch of that war in addition to the nationalization of the Suez Canal was the Czech-Egyptian arms deal of 1955. The third war was lost due to major deception on part of the world powers and an incompetent upper echelon which involved the country in a costly war in Yemen and refused to implement recommendations given by other officers.
Your approach to domestic manufacturing of weapons is naive at best. The decision to build and reinvigorate the country's military power was one that was taken out of absolute necessity. The environment necessary to cultivate a larger defense sector relies on the political will and ambition in the presence of an environment that allows you to take risks. Egypt is just beginning to have that. It had it under Mubarak, yet very little actually got done. Was that strictly because of the military? or was it because of the political leadership's weak and passive approach to dealing with domestic and foreign issues and the sustainment of a failing welfare state? Were the people in charge of the Democratic Nationalist Party under Mubarak from the military? No. They were low life cronies who sold the public sector for scraps after running it into the ground. What rank in the army where the people who left the country with crumbling roads? What generals were in charge of the health or education ministries? Whose decision was it to keep subsidies and delay national development and gas integration into homes just for the sake of selling the gas? Was it Abu Gazala or Tantawi that gave "manufacturers" no tariffs if they just assembled their products in the country even if there are no domestically produced components in it and thus destroying national industry? Which member of the SCAF supported the continued inflation of the civil sector and bureaucracy with no real productivity just to keep unemployment down? Throwing it all on the military as an establishment has got to be the most ignorant and child-like approach I have ever seen.
There is plenty to criticize. What needs to be fixed is the inflated bureaucracy, lack of digitization, and lax applications of the law. Whatever title the person has does not matter.
It is clear that you do not understand anything about launching the lie about corrupt weapons during the reign of King Farouk. It was a lie. The military said to demonize him and to justify the theft of the state. The revolution of 1952 was sponsored by America, and military industrialization began during the reign of King Farouk.
The defeat of 1956 was also the result of stupid decisions and repeating the same defeat because it was the same failed group. Did Egypt only achieve military defeats?
Rather, it achieved the transfer of the corrupt Soviet model in selecting the corrupt and incompetent as leaders to maintain the stability of the ruling system, and this has been followed until this point. Rather, the matter has developed in that any competence or benefit in the state is being eliminated outside the current gang organization to harm it.
We come to important matters about the Egyptian state
Egypt is mentioned in the Qur’an as the richest country in the world. It is the treasures of the earth, but it is led by a corrupt system.
Who destroyed the military industry is the current regime since the beginning of 2013
Where he seized the funds of military production factories and the Arab Organization for Industrialization allocated for development and aircraft and missile production projects, they are called private funds for more reasons, which is passing arms deals worth 60-100 billion dollars, from which huge commissions are passed. Isn’t this corruption under the pretext of not having a budget and also for privatization of cadres that have been trained? To implement the planned projects, the team’s hopes were taken out and disposed of. The factory was not developed, so we import to protect national security. They make national security work for their personal interests, even if it is against Egypt as a country and as a state.
The same applies to deliberately not completing the factory development plan for 2007-2012 under the pretext of the 2011 revolution and postponing the development of factories for the same previous plan.
Permanently announcing that there is no real budget for research and development, and even the prototypes that are implemented are later canceled on the pretext that there is no budget, but the money is allocated to other things.
If only 10 billion were invested in scientific research and weapons development, Egypt would have saved more than 50 billion. Egypt did not apply offset in arms deals as it used to apply in the past, nor implement BOT projects, nor any formula that reduces the value of the Egyptian currency, the Egyptian economy, or arms quantities. Therefore, call the state. Poor or there are no trustees. You are deliberately destroying capabilities for the sake of the interests of gangs that lead insatiably to theft without any deterrent.
Did you know that Egypt has had its fighter assembly lines and training aircraft closed since 2011?
Did you know that Egypt has one of the three largest tank factories in the world, whose production does not exceed 10% of its real capacity?
Did you know that the jeep factory closed two years ago?
The plan implemented since 2013 is to distort the entire civil sector in the Egyptian state, monopolize state administration through the military, and control the Engineering Authority and the National Service Agency over state projects, meaning an economic occupation. As a result, all the projects they implemented were implemented with a high degree of corruption because the military and intelligence personnel cannot be punished.
Everyone is talking about corruption in large farm projects, and Hamdi Badin heard him with knowledge in the field of corruption. When you select a corrupt person as a share of the state’s cake, it is to legalize corruption.
The same applies to corruption in agricultural greenhouses and corruption lining the canals
Why does the army seize control of the economy when it is not the army’s job? Its mission is national security and protecting Egypt from foreign threats, and not completely seizing Egypt’s mining revolutions. Thank God, their affiliated company, Shalatin and Imex, failed within 10 years.
You are naive if you think that those who expose their corruption are not military personnel and not former officers in the intelligence service. As civilians, we see corruption in companies that have direct contact with civilians, such as companies in the National Service Service. However, the rest of the pillars of the system are exposed by the military, including those with the rank of major general. Any of us are exposed by other military personnel who reject their corrupt system. It is not the role of the army to seize control of the economy when the army has a monopoly on sugar imports and runs the Sugar and Integrated Industries Company as an army brigade, and this company, instead of making huge profits, makes modest profits due to corruption. What is the comment? Is it the role of the army to produce biscuits, grow cantaloupes, and raise chicks and chickens?
Running a country within ten years
Was national security preserved by selling the islands and transforming Tiran Sanafir into international waters instead of within Egyptian territorial waters?
Did he make Egyptian land sold for 6 times the amount of land in the world to Egyptians and have the army seize all state land under the pretext of protecting it and then sell it?
Is protecting national security related to the destruction of iron, steel, coke, and 100 Egyptian factories so that Egypt is unable to benefit from 900 million tons of iron ore?
More than 23,000 private sector factories were closed. Is it personal problems between me and the army?
Did Egypt drown in debt? An internal debt of 6,000 billion pounds and an external debt of 168 billion. These numbers are not huge, and they are very simple as a result of the failure of the state administration to obtain returns from projects worth 25,000 billion pounds.
When Mohammed bin Salman insulted the army and the state and said they gave them 14 billion dollars, they gave the budget 12 and they stole the rest. Isn’t this leak considered an insult to the Egyptian state because of them?
Do you know how the Egyptian pound was destroyed? The Suez Canal Project. The project was planned to be implemented from state resources within 5 years. Sisi decided to implement it within 1 year. The result was a shortage in the currency, the value of the currency decreased, and Egypt fell under the control of the World Bank and the Rescue Fund. That is, simply a failed decision without study and return. Its result is disastrous, and Al-Sisi admits that he does not recognize the feasibility study or the practical concepts in management. He remembers it as a livestock farm managed by the government.
Things are very simple. Any project or any development program in Egypt is fought for a simple reason: pleasing the outside world is clearer with every simple example.
Egypt - Israel put pressure on it, and when Egypt yielded, Egypt received 35 billion dollars from the sale of Ras Al-Hikma lands, and Egypt obtained 8 billion dollars from the state monetary fund and from the European Union in exchange for 9 billion. Isn’t this in exchange for Egypt accepting numbers of Palestinians smuggling and Egypt’s complete exit from The Palestinian issue and condoning the killing of thousands of Palestinians and not helping them
Egyptian National Security: Was it sheltered in Sudan, or were the Egyptians and their army insulted in Mater Marwee air port in Sudan? Does Egypt have the influence of Saudi Arabia and the international quartet controlling Sudan? And the crisis there was decided by America, Europe and Turkey, through the militias, placing the Libyan government and deciding on it through Skhirat. What is Egypt doing as if it does not exist? That is, it simply failed to Protecting Egyptian national security
Egyptian water security failed to protect it, and Ethiopia stole 50 billion cubic meters of water from the Nile and controlled the Nile, and the army did not care and did not play a role in this disaster. Why, because they will not give up their control over 52% and thousands of billions of pounds, and they protect Egypt and fight to protect Egypt’s security, of course not.
What is known globally is that when the army controls the money and the state’s economy, the state collapses because they turn into a system that plunders the state, and this is the reason for the collapse of the state of Sudan. It spies it and controls 85%.
Things are very simple. Bad results are the result of poor planning and implementation. It is not an accusation, but rather an economy of a country that is destroyed, national security that is ignored, a people that is impoverished, a bad future for a country that is poorly managed.
The value of my opinion is important when the situation matches it. We do not claim that the state has failed while it is successful. We do not claim that they are dishonest and they are honorable. We do not claim that they are stupid and corrupt while they are developing Egypt. The facts are very clear. The private sector is fleeing to Saudi Arabia and Morocco.
As long as the Egyptian economy has been weakened and the country has been marginalized and has become worthless among countries in the region and no one cares about Egypt’s interests in the Middle East, then no dog can speak or defend a failed and corrupt regime.
