Daring to think by Ahmed Abu Shadi

Daring to think by Ahmed Abu Shadi
I have closely befriended and experienced the struggle of Dr. Saeed Al-Najjar, Dr. Ibrahim Shehata, and Dr. Rushdi Saeed, and it pains me deeply that their struggle, which you know well, has become a thing of the past.
Dr. Hossam Badrawi has a clear and visible imprint in public work, known and respected by everyone, and what is required is its establishment in order for it to remain, endure and achieve the reform we all aspire to.
As you said the day before yesterday, in your dialogue with Professor Hala Sarhan at the signing ceremony of your latest books, you called for the right of Egyptians to education, health care, decent housing, and remunerative work… which represents a complete party program that no one has opposed, and no one can oppose.
The second part of the institutional work you promised yourself in your book “Dare to Think,” which you kindly gifted to me, p. 180:
“I will try to collect the names, and research the performance and academic standing in all countries of the world, to find dozens of Tamer Owais… until the end of the paragraph.
Indeed, it is a vital and existential aspect for the renaissance of Egypt, not only because its national wealth, scientifically and practically, includes its children abroad, but also more dangerous because its best citizens and future leaders,
They are forced to leave in search of a decent living…leaving the country’s capabilities in the hands of the less fortunate and the more privileged.
I hope that I will be fortunate enough to see and hear, along with millions of Egyptians, what warms the heart and gives hope for the return of the Egypt that you have in mind.
With my sincere love and appreciation
