As Arabs, our biggest problem is we rely on persons rather than institutions
-
The french got some nerves comparing Nasser to Hitler when they were bombing Algeria with Napalm themselves.
-
Nasser proved the maxim, "The road to hell is full of good intentions", his good intentions led Egypt to disastrous outcomes over and over again.

1:48 An episode of the British detective drama "Poirot", a TV adaptation of Agatha Christie's novels and short stories, depicted King Farouk in the early 1930s, before he became king, as a fictional character. Not surprisingly, he was depicted in a very negative light. The title of the Poirot episode was "The Theft Of The Royal Ruby".

The mistake that Gamal Abdel Nasser committed was that he entered Egypt into many unnecessary wars, such as the war in Yemen My father served 7 years in the army, including five years in the era of Gamal Abdel Nasser and two years in the era of Sadat, and he participated in the war of 67 and 73, and he was going to participate in the Yemen war, then his destination changed to Sinai at the last moments for the war of 67 May God have mercy on my father, he passed away in December 2019 💔

He liberated the whole of Africa not only Egypt. He supported the Mao mao in Kenya, Hosted Ignatius Musaazi of Uganda when the British wanted him dead, supported the ANC in south Africa, united the Monrovia and the Casablanca factions in the 1959 Accra conference on the independence of Africa , supported the FLN in Algeria against the French, inspired the late Gaddafi to rise to power in Libya, so many other tremendous contributions to Africa as a whole. RIP Col: Abdul Gamal Nasser!

Many in the comments fail to note the most important point of the documentary. Nasser allowed Jordan, Syria and Palestine to force him into a war with Israel, though he did not want this war. The result was Egypt’s humiliation, military defeat, the end of the pan-Arab movement, and growth of Islamism. Nasser chose a one party state rather than democracy, which required a secret police, imprisonment and torture of dissidents. He was so popular, he did not need to be a dictator, and could have achieved more as a democratic president.

Me parece un reportaje excepcional. Nací en el 54 y muchos de los hechos que narra me resultaron ajenos por ser una niña Española. Para juzgar a Gamal Abdel Nasser habría que ponerse en su lugar. Quién podría haberlo hecho de otro modo que como él lo hizo?. Muchas gracias.

Well done and brilliant documentary.

One social aspect told to me by Middle and Upper Class Egyptians of Nasser’s economic management was the gradual decline of housing standards - the imposition he made on rental increase by Landlords resulted in little or no expenditure on repairs. His heart was in the right place, like many of his policies, but he faced impossible tasks - however, he demonstrated great ability as a ‘politician’. He probably was a great influence on Gaddafi, who wanted to achieve across Africa what Nasser attempted in the Arab World. Their deaths indicate the difference in esteem their countrymen held for them.

I worked in Egypt in the epoch of Nasser. I saw many historic events shown in the documentary by my own eyes. Nasser is one of the great leaders of world.

EPIC DOCUMENTARY!

As an Indonesian we basically learn that Gamal Abdel Nasser was a friend of our 1st president Sukarno. Just like what they tell about Sukarno, they barely tell anything about the negatives of Nasser during his reign. For me what happened to Egypt not something too far from what happened to Indonesia with periods full of power struggle between leftist politicians, corrupt military officers, radical Muslims and the masses that actually want an honest democratic government but at least unlike Egypt, we actually get our democracy. Sure nothing totally perfect, our politics still haunted by our past but we have to move on. Wish the best for both countries.
