It was a different age. Cairo was like Europe. It was clean and smart and the people were well mannered and respectable and everyone knew his place exactly. I was different too. I had my station in life, my money, all my friends were of a certain niveau, I had my special places where I would spend the evening—the Automobile Club, the Club Muhammad Ali, the Gezira Club. What times! Every night was filled with laughter and parties and drinking and singing. There were lots of foreigners in Cairo. Most of the people living downtown were foreigners, until Abd el Nasser threw them out in 1956.” “Why did he throw them out?” “He threw the Jews out first, then the rest of the foreigners got scared and left. By the way, what’s your opinion of Abd el Nasser?” “I was born after he died. I don’t know. Some people say he was a hero and others say he was a criminal.” “Abd el Nasser was the worst ruler in the whole history of Egypt. He ruined the country and brought us defeat and poverty. The damage he did to the Egyptian character will take years to repair. Abd el Nasser taught the Egyptians to be cowards, opportunists, and hypocrites.” “So why do people love him?” “Who says people love him?” “Lots of people that I know love him.” “Anyone who loves Abd el Nasser is either an ignoramus or did well out of him. The Free Officers were a bunch of kids from the dregs of society, destitutes and sons of destitutes. Nahhas Basha was a good man and he cared about the poor. He allowed them to join the Military College and the result was that they made the coup of 1952. They ruled Egypt and they robbed it and looted it and made millions. Of course they have to love Abd el Nasser; he was the boss of their gang.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Alaa Al Aswany" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/alaa-al-aswany/i-lived-through-beautiful-times-busayna-it-was-a-different-age-cairo/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ea3/alaa-al-aswany-24214_egypt_i-lived-through-beautiful-times-busayna_363679.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ea3/alaa-al-aswany-24214_egypt_i-lived-through-beautiful-times-busayna_363679.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ea3/alaa-al-aswany-24214_egypt_i-lived-through-beautiful-times-busayna_363679.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I lived through beautiful times, Busayna.
