As an Egyptian I think he was the best, my grandmothers school was beside his palace she said every day he would wave at her and her friends, he used to drink tea on his balcony RIP he will be dearly missed.
If I drink tea with you but sign a paper with your enemy taking Egypt from you….
Would I be your friend? Or the best?
He is a black man and yet Egyptians hate black people 😂😂
As moroccan i respect this man, great leader
Yeah it's true
I read the day the leader died and everyone hated the Infitah, or open-door, economic policy. Did you think that was bad?
you also now respect your lord "israel" now as your dog "the king" made a "peace" agreement with them
@@MoMo-js5gi bit extreme. He was a sellout to the us but I don’t think peace with Israel was his biggest problem

Very well educated man and president! May allah rest him in peace
Unfortunately mass media seldom remember him in my country
I will not negotiate an inch of my land, strong words from a great leader
Shocked at how amazing his English is
I am a fluent English speaker too but sometimes I can't understand what the interviewer is asking. The words and meaning of the questions are quite complicated and confusing. But luckily Anwar understands and confidently answering him. Respect him.

Al Fatihah for Mr. Sadat 🤲🏻
❤️ from 🇮🇩 INDONESIA
My mother was crazy about him. (His widow just died yesterday, July 9, 2021.)
I WAS LOOKING AT TV DURING THE DAY WHEN HE WAS ASSINATED. SUCH A BRAVE MAN. LOVELY PERSON.
He was the best president in egypt. when i wa in egypt som years before in year 2005 i seen Anwar Sadat pfoto to many egyptoin families home on the wall. so i think that the egyptians love him also todays :)
The great man of all time
He was a man of peace. A pleasant person to be with.
Astrologically, his moon is in Libra. With such placement, there is a great need and constant starvation for peace and harmony. A great man indeed!

@@samuelfeldman9912 by that you mean taking back the Sinai??? Well of course it is his lands, Golan Heights? Well of course it is Syria's land
@@abenalif2147They lost the Sinai because they invaded Israel and failed.
a very witty and good hearted man. The only one who invited the Shah 1980.
The first Arab leader to come forward to vision a peaceful Middle East with coexistence with Israel. He laid down his life for the same.Today many Arab states have followed the suit.
@Haren Soro that's literally what happened. Go back to 4chan
He was an East African-he does not look Arab AT ALL
@@KingoftheRoad-2023 he was EGYPTIAN
@@bl00dhoney He was Kenyan-look at how he looks like
Why do you think something like coexistence with Israel should be a thing?
Great Muslim president SUBHANALLAH
He was the man of all times
I'm an Israeli who admire two great leaders: Sadat and Begin.
I know that peace with Egypt is problematic and not really warm and welcomed in Egypt, many of them hates us, but still, it is 100 times better than war between us.
Take care Egypt friends, from your north-east border.
Aren't you jews racist against black people?
رحم الله السادات كان شرفا لمصر جميعها.
He was the best leader Egypt has had since Pharaoh time.
@opener of the world nasser was a communist dictator, he is arguably the worst leader Egypt had this century.
@@ghostjackal5273 he was not a communist
@@user-dz4ty5tj7q he made all shops state owned, he stole land from land owners and distributed it to people who didn't know how to farm, and he desroyed Egypts agricultural industry, he placed wealthy indiviuals under survaliance and stole and banned low biding citizens from owning guns also waged countless wars against Israel, and Yemen. Need i say more
@@ghostjackal5273 Firstly not all shops were state owned, the huge majority of small shops was still privately owned. Land reform was a necessity, you are deluded in thinking that the people owning the land farmed it, do you know anything about iqta? Nearly all land was owned by a small minority of powerful landholders, the amirs. He indeed forbade gun ownership and put many amirs under surveillance but that clearly seems a lesser evil considering improvements made under his rule, the life expectency increased by 10 years, urbanization increased by 10%, infant mortality decreased by 30%, electricity became a widely accessible commodity, poverty massively decreased, the economy gained traction because of modernisation, with the GDP being multiplied by 3.
The statistics are widely accessible. A strong state and socialism were necessary to modernize the country, without them Egypt would still be like Sudan. Nasser paved the way for the rise of the arab world.
If you are Saudi you will probably not care or dismiss what I am saying but I will assure you that that is because you have been taught that way, reality is not what is claimed in the wahhabi kingdom. Most succesfull policies implemented in arab lands were created by Nasser.
And he didn't wage "countless" wars against Yemen and Israel. He helped southern Yemen which was indeed communist and had gained independence from Britain against North Yemen which was a Shiia imamate, can you really blame him for that? He wage one war against Israel in 1967 which he lost. Israeli forces also invaded Port-Said along with France and Britain in 1956, but then retreated without the crisis escalating because of Soviet and American support to Egypt.
And finally I will ask you, if he was so bad, why did 5 million people follow his coffin and mourn at his death?
@@azarshadakumuktir4551 you are so delusional, I am Egyptian and the land reform was not a necessity now we buy all our food and can't export shit
RIP
Anwar Sadat
(1918-1981)
rest in peace our president
Egypt 🇪🇬 Egypt Long live Egypt
Sectarian jihadist Islamic fundamentalism was the Arab world’s greatest gift to Israel and the U.S. Pan-Arab and Iranian secular nationalism, on the other hand, was the only real threat to U.S./Israeli hegemony in the Middle East and the Gulf region. Anwar Sadat was a pragmatist and a visionary ahead of his time and place.
47 years on and fighting is still no end in sight!
What you say is true, but the situation is a little different, because the fighting would have been different if Egypt and Israel were still in a state of all-out war. Egypt’s entry as a party in any battle or war in the Middle East would ignite the entire Middle East region.
He was a good man, super intelligent and forward thinking.
A great leader ,great human being ,and a great visionary,Respect to Mr.Sadaat ,My father Also adore him ,Love from India and Kuwait
Love his bluntness! When the reporter said "if such and such happens, peace can't happen," Sadat retorted "if we start like this we shall not reach peace." I undertand the reporter was doing his job and there were legitimate questions about roadblocks.
I like the blunt.
RIP President Anwar Sadat!
Amen
(1918-1981)
That was a very sad day I remember it well
You people are stupid!
He really was an amazing leader. Egypt should be proud!
Do you have the full interview uploaded or do you know where I can access the full interview? thanks
May sadat rest in peace in heaven God bless him 🕊🕊
Anwar Sadat well respected politician, an honest politician.
Hero of war and peace
R.I.P. Hero ..
A wonderful man, the only true friend, Israel ever had in that region
One of the greatest middle eastern leaders of the modern era. Arguably the greatest.
1:28:2023 THE ONE AND THE ONLY ANWAR AL SADAT SUCH AN AMAZING PERSON, WELL EDUCATED WITH A SHARP PERSONALITY, SO PROUD TO CALL HIM MY PRESIDENT RIP
What a great man!
The greatness man of all time
Great Leader Sadat sir....
he is pretty suave ill give him that
Even if you don’t see eye-to-eye with old Anwar, a pipe smoker can’t be all that bad...
He was pragmatic, and honest 😊
Probably the best Egyptian president. Given the bar in Egypt has always been very very low
Only after the military coup
@@thutmose7506 thoughts on you're favourite leader? British, french, ottomon, Mamluk, ayyubi, fatamid, rushidun?
Maybe Saladin....nah, I like Sadat. He was gangster. Or I think of Mohamed Ali Pasha and his grandson Ismail. They too were international gangsters.
Egypt is old, and Cairo is medieval.
Egyptians are the best of people. Except we are not really Egyptian, but a mix of all these foreign people and cultures.
@@iconoclasticphilosophy5641 Real Egyptians are still around the same customs they kept their identity despite all the invaders that passed through Egypt in villages across the Nile path. Mohammed Ali was better leader than Nasser at least he defeated the British and stopped them from controlling Egypt. My favorite egyptian ancient leader is Thutmose III. Saad Zaghloul and Mostafa Nahas were both great leaders in recent times.
Lol actually the problem in Egypt is that the bar is so high. That is due to the fact that when Egypt got out of ottoman occupation it had a 300 year gap between it and Europe.
Egypt stood still from early 1500's to the early 1800's. So every egyptian ruler was required to close this 300 year gap.
Yet today it's a 20 years wide gap.
Most who ruled Egypt in the past 200 years performed greatly and the people demanded tham to advance the country at triple and quadruple the speed that any "1st world country" is going at in order to catch up.
Just in 1981 Egyptian GDP ppp was $89bn . Today in 2021 it's $1.36 trillion. That's increasing it's economy by more than 15 fold in 40 years. Tell me of one "1st world" country that was able to accomplish that.
By that rate Egypt would have a $3 trillion GDP ppp in 2030. And that would be larger than the 2025 projected Economy size of italy, sth Korea, Canada, Spain or Australia.

Any western leader would have a nervous breakdown rulling Egypt for just a few months.
@@ma.s2386 I’m Egyptian but this is so so false
So interesting!
I told my children once: He was killed for making peace.
Their response was: Why would anyone kill him for that?!?
Then matters became complicated ...
pharaonic hero
It's intriguing how some label Sadat as a traitor, yet unlike the Palestinians, he grasped the harsh reality he faced. The notion of 'from the river to the sea' lacks practicality. Arabs sacrificing their children and those of their perceived enemies for land won't lead to progress. Consequently, in 2024, the situation remains chaotic. At what juncture does the Holy Land retain its sanctity amidst this ongoing bloodshed?
This war was here before us and will be here after.
back then it was easier to make negotiations now it doesnt seem possible
The greatest president of his country and his people! May Allah rest his soul!🙏🏻
We will remember and respect you, Anvar, and your killers rot in the dustbin of history, where the devil really punished them, there is no forgiveness for them and there will not be!
Efsanə Anvar Saddat ALLAH Rahmet eylesin AMİN .
Great president anvarsadad
He was like the Egyptian Obama. Easy going person.
No way ! He wasn’t fake like Obama!he was a man of his words .
ASMR Sadat in full effect here.
He was very dark like ancient Egyptians pharaohs
Think his mom is from nubia
Wow this interview is 3 years before his assassinated !
Egypt humiliated the Jewish enemy
When? Israel won both the 1967 and 1973 Wars. Egypt started off well in the '73 War but if it wasn't for the USA asking Israel to stop, Israel would have reached Cairo.
@@deans5086 so you are telling me the great Israel lost Sinai and didn’t reach Cairo just because mama America told it so ! Don’t be ridiculous ☺️ we humiliated Israel & got our land back . Bless Egypt 🇪🇬
@@ranaelshishiny5257 Israel didn't "lose" Sinai in the war. They still controlled Sinai and parts of African Egypt until 1982 when Egypt agreed to peace with Israel.
That is historical fact. By the end of the war, Israel were deep in African Egypt and Egypt had lost all the territory they gained at the start of the war. Israel was less than 60 miles from Cairo. The USA asked them to back down. The war ended in 1973, Egypt only got the Sinai back in 1982 after they signed a peace treaty with Israel. Israel did not lose one piece of land by the end of the war.
@@ranaelshishiny5257 If Egypt “humiliated Israel” how did Israel control more Egyptian territory by the end of the war than they did the start of the war?
Egypt started off the war well (with the Soviets help), but ended the war horrendously and militarily completely defeated.
@@deans5086 how did they give it back in 1982 if Sadat was assassinated in 1981 and by that time he already had control of the Sinai peninsula and was even celebrating the anniversary of the ‘73 war?
Looks like whatever chemicals those Auschwitz’s doctors injected into your grandparents brain passed something into your family 🤭
So logical
Way ahead of his time.

Even though he is the only one of our Arab leaders to have actually had any form of victory against them

Big respect for you mr.sadat however your mistakes .good picture about mouslim
Wonder how he got along with saddam.
He said that's sadam will destroy Iraq and he was right
Only an alert and knowledgeable citizen! Alert (fully aware)
Friend of Hassan & Noha (Sadat) Marei. Distinguished people.
Not the biggest fan of Saddat, but if only this vision had been realized. If he were still alive it might've been, but his successor (Hosni Mubarak) was a weak, puppet leader who let Israel get away with anything they wanted. If Saddat were alive, he never would've allowed Israel to invade and massacre the people of Lebanon, for 3 freaking years!
I kind of wish Saddat had made peace with Rabin, instead of Menacham Begin. Begin was the head of a terrorist organization (Irgun) and far more militant and extremist. If it were Rabin, perhaps the peace with Egypt could extend further and closer to a Palestinian state, early on.
👍😎🤓🇵🇱👍🤘
He was nice looking. So was Nasir.😃😍
كل يبكي علي ليلاه 😅!

He looks more Arab to me. Egypt was once predominately BLACK until it was invaded back in 325 BC by the Syrians and Persians. Now the indigenous black Egyptians are slowly being replaced by invaders and impostors.

Sadat would have come to see the Palestinians as the endless troublemakers they are. And Israeli sovereignty over all of Jerusalem has been a fact for 40 years since this interview. And Israel will never agree to divide Jerusalem. The Palestinians aren't worth the effort.
Sadat was a hero. RIP
Well that was a lie...
Too bad. Gunned down by his own bodyguard!
not his own bodyguard. he died by muslim brotherhood members like abod el zommor.
he was assassinated by military officers, they were members of the Islamic Jihad organization. The Muslim Brotherhood were his allies and supporters, they had no reason to get rid of him.
Western infiltration
Hosni Mubarak betrayed him!
What do you mean by that? Wasn't Mubarak injured during the assassination attempt on Sadat?
@ihor perec my Cold War history professor from Egypt was 19 at that time when Sadat was assassinated, and he has found evidence that Hosni hired assassins to kill Sadat so that he can have the authority to take office, so that's what he told me.
why doesn't isreal try to buy the land

popeye doyle was here
A older woman from Israel and Black decent came to examine me . She said he's my blood.
so glad he’s gone
The worst man ever held this position in modern Egyptian history. He made a lot of stupid mistakes during his era. The worst of it he has ruined the industrial sector of Egypt as a result of his foolish decisions he took at that time consequently, Egypt is trying to rise up out of its catastrophic outcomes,as well as many faults the history will mention it at the right time.
Lol, Sadat was negotiating with a journalist! It wasn't smart to reveal what you're willing to accept and not accept in the negotiation prior to the negotiation itself.
Like, how he says "my land." 1:00 LOL Fact: Sadat was a black man. yes he was.
He looks more Arab to me. Egypt was once predominately BLACK until it was invaded back in 325 BC by the Syrians and Persians. Now the indigenous black Egyptians are slowly being replaced by invaders and impostors.
@@wilbertkendal2524 I respect your opinion but he had dark skin and Sadat's hair was very wooly or nappy. Characteristic of black people.
We Egyptians are SO mixed💀
You can see white, black, brown, etc but they're 100% Egyptians, you can't identify "a true Egyptian citizen" just by looking at their skin colour💀
@@mirrxx LOL!.....They are not the true indigenous black Egyptians. Ancient Egypt was a pure black African civilization before it was invaded by the Assyrians and Persians back in 325 BC. Sadly, Egypt now looks like a Pakistani an Arab $hit-hole.
Sadats mother was of Sudanese origin he def has nubi blood in him, great man, great leader, much love to the egyptian people
uuuhh, uuuhh, uuuhh, uuhh almost sounds like he's burping. LOL starts AT 6:05
2024 BERNIE!!
Lieesssss
Anwar sadat was a black man. Just look at him.
what’s wrong with that? his successors were white but they were not as good as Sadat
