Nawal El Saadawi did not leave us and did not go anywhere
Nawal El-Saadawi did not leave us and did not go anywhere, only stripped of her body that had been exhausted by years, to embrace her soul the world and become more present among us, that the living human thought does not die, but rather reproduces and spreads like light in all directions even after the physical absence of its owner. Nawal struggled throughout her life, the bestial mentality of illiterate and backward masculinity, she had never had a problem with men, her problem was with the males' view of females, that view that has been erased from a dead and useless jurisprudence heritage, a heritage whose companions remain like the people of the cave, absent from transformations The world and the ocean, until they were surprised by a forced awakening that made them receive shocks after another, and they did not find a way to manage their new situation with their old thought. The greatest slaps they received, which Nawal El Saadawi expressed with great depth and knowledge, were the ones that came to them from the modern woman who went out to study, work, excel and compete in all fields. On July 15, 2013, I met Dr. Nawal El Saadawi in Rabat, thanks to the late Fatima Mernissi and friend Idriss Ksikes, and after that I wrote an article, a paragraph of which was re-published today in honor of her renewed presence among us: “In a meeting that brought me together with Dr. Nawal El Saadawi in Rabat that lasted for more than three hours, we exchanged views On the June 30 uprising and the Egyptian “rebellion” movement, the complexities of the status quo, the aspirations of the revolutionary forces in the land of Kenana, and the role of the army and traditional political forces. The great writer who was over eighty spoke with enthusiasm and vitality for young people, and the bottom line in her words was the necessity for young people to invent new methods of struggle in order to overcome the classic solutions that only exacerbate the current crisis, and the fundamental question around which our conversation revolved from the beginning and remained a big question point About the fate of the Egyptian uprising and its dimensions is the following: How is it possible to cross from the street revolution to the institutions? It is a question that the following perplexing questions have given rise to: Why do the youth of the revolution rise up, and then others reap its fruits without them, and in a direction opposite to their goals? Why did the Egyptian revolution not result in a young and new political force that could influence the course of the legislative and presidential elections, so that the Egyptians would eventually obtain institutions that emerged from the depth and spirit of the revolution and working towards its goals? Why did the Egyptian scene after the revolution only witness the traditional conflict between the remnants of the regime and the “Brotherhood” organization, which are two parties, the sweetest of which has passed in view of the aspirations of the forces of the Egyptian street, which neither side can achieve? These questions have preoccupied the great writer, who has spent most of her time since the January 25 uprising in “Tahrir Square” interviewing the youth of the revolution sometimes until three in the morning. These questions are today the focus of the thinking of the active elites in North Africa and the Middle East.
