Presented by Amr Moussa and Mounir Abdel Nour and published by the Egyptian Lebanese House
Dialogues with young people.. Seeing d. Hossam Badrawi for the New Republic
On the authority of the Egyptian Lebanese House, the book “Dialogues with Youth for a New Republic” was published by Dr. Hossam Badrawi, in which he presents his vision and hopes for the new republic that President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi announced during his speech about the opening of the new administrative capital, as a declaration of a new republic and the birth of a new state. This was in the educational symposium of the armed forces in 2021. After the president’s speech, the slogan “The New Republic” appeared in a corner at the top of the Egyptian satellite TV screens, and it is the slogan that caught the attention of all Egyptians, and more attention was paid to it by thinkers and politicians who are preoccupied with the future of the country as well as its present, and among them Dr.. Hossam Badrawi, who looked at the slogan seriously and committed to presenting ideas that contribute to building this republic and building the future of Egypt.
Not only did Badrawi write an article laying out his vision for the new republic, but he began to meet from time to time with a group of young people, experts and politicians. However, the purpose of the meetings was to raise a more important question: “How can we be effective with our ideas in building this republic?”
Based on this approach and this vision, Dr. Hossam Badrawi, his book presented by Mr. Amr Moussa, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Egypt, and Mr. Mounir Abdel Nour, the former Minister of Tourism, Industry and Trade.
Hope for the next new
The book began with a presentation by the former Egyptian Foreign Minister, Amr Moussa, in which he said: I met my dear friend Dr. Hossam Badrawi, and I learned from him that while I was preoccupied with the issue of the new republic and began to speak about it publicly, he had finished a book that interacts with the same topic, which he called “Dialogues with Youth for a Republic.” New”. I congratulated him and welcomed his book and told him: How I would like to see a serious discussion of that idea launched by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, which deserves to be taken with the same seriousness that the president spoke with, so please send me an advanced copy of the draft book.
And Amr Moussa adds: I expected him to focus on education, which is the most important topic in his thought and to which he has highly qualified contributions.. But I found in my initial quick reading a comprehensive look at the content of this republic, and a unique contribution to presenting it in a sound way based on dialogues with young people. That the future is its owners.
As for the former Minister of Industry and Trade, Mounir Abdel Nour, he presented the book saying: When the President of the Republic raised the slogan of the new republic, Dr. Hossam Badrawi realized that a new page in Egypt’s history could be opened, and that the elite should at least participate in laying its foundations and shaping its features. In this book, Dr. Hossam Badrawi invites all patriots, and indeed every intellectual, visionary, and opinion holder to participate in discussing and criticizing this proposition. He calls Egyptians to positivity and optimism, and more importantly alerts them to the responsibility entrusted to them… the responsibility to contribute to building the new republic, the state that we all dream of building in which our children can live and enjoy prosperity.
Willingness to participate positively
Dr says. Hossam Badrawi in the introduction to his new book: The main motive behind this book is my passion for reform, my desire to participate positively in achieving sustainability in development, and the accumulation of efforts to make Egypt a great country, which it deserves. Egypt’s true wealth throughout history is in its citizens. The Egyptians created the Egyptian civilization in the oldest country in history, and those who started enlightenment in the region were the Egyptians. My fear and anxiety is that we will lose our most important treasures, our children and youth, whether through extremism in thought, reactionary behavior, or loss of values. Our responsibility, as greater generations, is terrible, and whoever has the ability must make a statement within the framework of legitimacy and law, and must think, say and record.
Badrawi adds: I read an unconventional expression in a book entitled “Die Empty”, which says: “Do not leave life carrying the best you have, and die empty after filling people’s lives with your ideas.” I found it eloquent and unorthodox. And since I believe that what is not documented did not exist, I took it upon myself to record my thoughts, apply what I could of them, and publish the summary of my experiences, which are numerous, for those who can benefit from them or by them, bearing in mind Jawaharlal Nehru’s saying: “When we think about goals We must not ignore the means. In this context, I consider the slogan put forward by the country’s leadership under the name “The New Republic” seriously, and even as a commitment to presenting ideas that contribute to building the country, that avoid past mistakes and learn from them, and look at the world around us and benefit from its experiences.
The curriculum of the book and the ten pillars
adopted dr. Hossam Badrawi uses a clear approach in his newly published book by the Egyptian Lebanese House. This approach relies on writing an essay, followed by a dialogue with young people, as an attempt to listen to and respect them, given that the world of tomorrow is their world. The first chapter contained ten pillars of the new republic, the most prominent of which are: stability on the political system to rule the country, bringing about a cultural change from the gate of education, culture and media, bringing about a qualitative and intellectual reform of justice institutions, making a structural change in the Egyptian economy, with the aim of stimulating, sustaining and balancing growth, and reforming the administrative apparatus in The state and the revival of ethics and values ​​that establish the principles of honesty and integrity, fighting corruption, supporting transparency, changing the pattern of governance and digitalization in all institutions, with the gradual application of decentralization, in addition to preserving the environment for the sake of future generations, with the sustainability of providing clean energy and water for the needs of the Egyptian people, And defining the Egyptian role in shaping the future of Africa, the Middle East and the world, increasing the capabilities of Egypt’s army, developing the armament pattern by increasing the capacity for military industrialization, as well as developing the role of civil society.
