An Egyptian woman who dared: the Nawal El Saadawi I knew

Throughout the Middle East and beyond, the name Nawal El Saadawi is not one that can be received with indifference. During her lifetime and even after her passing on 21 March 2021, the Egyptian author, physician and activist evokes intense feelings that range from love and respect to hatred and offence.
This comes as no surprise. Nawal was someone who unabashedly crossed all boundaries set by religious, political and societal authorities. When I had the privilege of meeting her, we immediately became friends.
Something in her eyes, manner and voice gripped my attention. She spoke for me and for millions of others who were silenced by layers and layers of falsehoods and banal obligations in the name of honour and duty. She ‘adopted’ me, like she did with many of the young people she met.

democracy is a dead issue in egypt again and that's a danger and a president for the whole region that's very dangerous. >> you know, mona, i think back to early on, people like that are on this program, people that rose up against the morsi government would rule the day they invited the military for a solution. is there a sense of regret there for some? >> i don't think that the military should play any role in egyptian politics, around sonde. they had to step down, which they did. but the egyptian military, and this is very ironic. the egyptian military over the past year we had morsi as a president it was strengthened by mohamed morsi, the president of the muslim brotherhood because the only two institutions during his time was the military and the muslim brotherhood. i wish the military had not had anything to do with the protest of june 30th, but it's very important to understand that general feeling we will face him

msnbc. >> kristen welker, thank you for the latest. outside of condemning the violence in egypt, the united states is staying on the sidelines in egypt. is that the right move? to talk about that is steve clemon, washington editor at large, for "the atlantic" and also founder of the american strategy program at the new america foundation. steve, what i want to know, as someone coming to this is, are we making the right move, from your expert opinion, are we making the right move in staying on the sidelines -- john kerry called it deplorable. the united states hasn't gone further than that. is that the right move? >> no. from the moment that morsi was removed from office, the united states should have suspended aid or suspended a significant portion of the aid. we did cancel some fighters. but that wasn't enough. they should have sent a stronger signal. not necessarily because of concerns about democracy but largely more broadly about what signal it sends to a very important group of young players in egyptian politics.

listen to the united states? >> i think many who are willing to listen to the united states. i concur with bob's assess inment. we have to be a force of stability and support for a very quick transition to a fully elected democratic government. so the military has to make clear what the time table is and they have to move to be inclusive. one of the problems with morsi, he was increasingly exclusive. he was increasingly authorityian and that view is not going to work for the people of egypt nor is it going to work for the united states. in addition to that we have to actively engage regional powers particularly with economic assistance to egypt. one of the causes of this popular turmoil was a terrible economic situation as well as increasing isolation of morsi from the mainstream of egyptian politics. there are people listening and i think they will be responsible. ultimately, though, this will be the egyptians task to create

profound revolution that brings together three different historical experiences in egypt that are now coming to a head, a nationalist revolution against foreign domination, a social revolution against domestic inadequacies, a religious fanaticism that's on the rise, and all of this combined could put egypt into a state of total upheaval. we have to be extremely careful. and the last thing we need to do is to start giving ultimatum, in effect, with dates on them to whoever governs egypt, whether it is the military or whether it is, in fact, the muslim brotherhood. we are not the decisive factor anymore in internal egyptian politics, and that's related more generally to the decline of american position in the middle east, which may be tipping towards regionwide violence. so, we have to act with caution and discretion, and the last

industry. so, there's a very important component here that makes it difficult for people to believe the military is simply going to leave the political arena. but at the same time, the current leadership of the military is different than the one that ruled two years ago. it is a new set of core officers that are running the military around they, themselves, have expressed some disappointment with what happened over the course of the last several years. so there are some indications that they learned from their mistakes of trying to run the country, but at the same time, the fact that they were able to oust president morsi really does suggest that they still have a large shadow cast over egyptian politics. >> nbc's ayman mohyeldin above tahrir square. mark begins berg severed as a deputy advisory for foreign policy, u.s. ambassador to mock rocco under president clinton and welcome you on this fourth of july. thanks for joining us. >> good to be with you as well, alex. >> look at what's happening here

same place. what is their singular gripe? is it that they don't want the military to be in charge? >> they have lost faith in the military. in february when mubarak was forced out by protesters in the same square, the military stepped in. the military used their authority to protect the people and there were cheers on the streets. the military and the people hand in hand. that hand shake has been broken. the people say the military can't be trusted to carry out the promise it made when mubarak stepped down which was to transition to democracy. since he stepped down as the military remained in power, there is marshal law and thousands were arrested and sent to military tribunals. the military applied it wanted to stay permanently as a caretaker for egyptian politics.
