Bronnikov Stunned by Youthful Enthusiasm at Sheikh Imam's 30th Anniversary Celebration
Pasant Elzaitony Denis Bronnikov, the Deputy Director of the Russian Cultural Center in Cairo, expressed his amazement at the overwhelming turnout of youth at the celebration of Sheikh Imam, marking the 30th anniversary of his passing. He noted that the crowd stretched for dozens of meters along Tahrir Street, extending all the way to the entrance of the Russian Cultural Center. Bronnikov pointed out that most of the attendees were in their twenties. He added that the Tchaikovsky Theatre was fully packed, describing it as a phenomenon worthy of contemplation. The celebration, organized by the Sheikh Imam Society for Arts and Literature in collaboration with the Russian Cultural Center in Cairo, saw a large turnout that included a number of renowned poets and artists. The distinguished poet Zayn El-Abidin Fouad was present, along with other contemporary poets such as Mahmoud El-Taweel, Mohamed Seif, Farghali Mahran, and Sayed Enaba, who recited poems reflecting the rich poetic heritage of Sheikh Imam. Meanwhile, several individuals were honored for their contributions to preserving the legacy of Sheikh Imam. As the evening unfolded, the connection between Sheikh Imam's music and political activism became even clearer. Bronnikov also highlighted that Sheikh Imam's songs reached beyond Egypt's borders, having been introduced to Russian audiences since 1985, when he performed at the World Youth Forum in Moscow. The Russian Cultural Center has maintained this cultural exchange, showcasing the universal themes in Imam's music that resonate with youth all over the world. Sherif Gad, a key figure at the event, reflected on the enduring impact of the late musician. 'Sheikh Imam is still alive in the hearts of Egyptians,' he said. 'He was the blind singer who illuminated the hearts of the poor and the revolutionaries. He sang for workers, farmers, and for Palestine, and his songs remain a guiding light for those fighting for justice.' The celebration, which also included a poignant memorial for late poets such as Naguib Sorour and Ahmed Fouad Negm, reinforced the idea that Sheikh Imam's artistic and political influence continues to shape the cultural landscape of Egypt. It also highlighted the continued role of music in shaping social and political movements, especially among the youth. read more 2 Most Inspirational Green Projects in Egypt AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT to Strive over Viewership Tonight Egypt Marks 70th Anniv. of 2011 Revolution, National Police Day In Depth: WWE NXT Halloween Havoc In Depth: AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT Tuesday Viewership Strive Videos & Features WATCH: Egyptians Break Ramadan Fasts in Matariya Videos & Features GrEEk Campus Hosts Jobzella Fifth Career Fair Videos & Features 3 Iconic Ramadan Songs of All Times Videos & Features Top 4 Destinations to Visit in Upper Egypt News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Global Youth at Nasser Fellowship Voice Support for Palestinian Statehood
Pasant Elzaitony As part of the Fifth Edition of the Gamal Abdel Nasser Fellowship for International Leadership, under the patronage of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and within the framework of the Egypt International Forum, the Ministry of Youth and Sports organized a seminar titled "The Palestinian Cause: Vision and Analysis." The event was moderated by Sherif Gad, Director of Cultural Activities at the Russian Cultural Center, and featured key speakers including Dr. Saeed Abu Ali, former Palestinian Minister of Interior and Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League and Head of the Palestine and Occupied Arab Territories Sector; Dr. Yasmine Moussa, Legal Affairs Advisor at Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and Ms. Sahar Al-Jubouri, Head of UNRWA's Representative Office in Cairo. The seminar was attended by 150 young men and women from 80 countries. In his opening remarks, Sherif Gad expressed optimism for the eventual triumph of the Palestinian cause, despite the difficult current conditions. He emphasized that the continuation of Palestinian resistance and the solidarity shown by youth from 80 different nations reaffirm that the Palestinian cause is far from forgotten. 'The Palestinian people will never disappear like the Native Americans,' he stated passionately. Sherif Gad Dr. Saeed Abu Ali stressed the importance of a comprehensive resolution to the conflict, criticizing both the Arab and international response to the crisis. He condemned the delayed international efforts to halt the ongoing atrocities, pointing out that over 137 countries now recognize the State of Palestine. Dr. Yasmine Moussa affirmed Egypt's historical and emotional connection to the Palestinian cause, stating that it has shaped the political awareness of Egyptian youth. She presented a detailed overview of recent developments in the conflict, highlighting numerous humanitarian violations, and emphasized the significance of international law and judicial organizations in addressing these issues. Ms. Sahar Al-Jubouri elaborated on UNRWA's mission, the challenges it faces, and the daily struggles endured by the Palestinian people from the perspective of the agency. She underlined UNRWA's vital role in supporting every Palestinian refugee and pointed to the absence of a unified international definition of terrorism. This ambiguity, she argued, often casts Palestinian resistance in the role of the perpetrator rather than the victim. In conclusion, Sherif Gad extended his gratitude to the Minister of Youth and Sports for organizing the Nasser Fellowship Forum, and to Dr. Hassan El-Ghazaly, Director of the Nasser International Leadership Fellowship, for the outstanding execution and coordination of the event. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies
