The Egyptian Newspapers of Cairo ’’Misr £1 Fatal* 1 gives, in
an article appeared in his issue of the 17th.April,It41, the following
details under the heading of M £gypt in Arabian Country in respect of
Amarat El Koweit”.
It is an other part of the communications between Egypt and
Arabian countries which we ddsire to describe. They are the ways ,of many
Egyptians looking for important activity amongst the arabian people-
A/ithcut oeiiig su^perted by any Government, as they are willing to show
in these new fields of energy tbeir own capacity and their initiative
in their undertakings, their duty towards their Creator and great Nation
as well as towards themselves.
J
On the service of H.k.the King Ibn ^,1 3eoud there ai’e many
Egyptians. Their loyalty and qualifications placed them in the highest
jost of the beoudite Government and some of them are tae greatest
.61} 1 ^ >tie representatives of Um Ai^abian Kingdom in Foreign Countries.
Others are the greatest Imams teachindreligion in the Ked^sz and ethers
also are important ^cvernflient officials and very reliaole ^ersonn&lities
to the Government they serve.
All of them are not like in Irak,Yemen, Jyria etc., a mission
sent at the request of these governments but they are A ^ople relying
on their own capacity. And, of late, we have been acquainted ;ith .an
Egyptian working at the Amarat JL Koweit. He is Ezzat ! ohamed Gaaffar Pey
who for* the last six years filled in the post of Private secretary to
H.S.the Emir of Koweit$ he deserved his position through his sound
| ability and energy.
Ve say his sound ability and energy uecauss the situation of
the Interior and Foreign Affairs of this Arabian Island differ from
those of the remaining Islands of the lersian Gulf.
The city of Koweit itself which gives its name v*o tne Amirut
^ is to*, greatest harbour on the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. and at t oe e time the
greatest town coffipg rat: j; ve py to the other towns in ^raoian LcJid, as its
inhabitants account to 1FO thousanas. Because, also, that the existence
cf a harbour in such country is of utmost importance, specially when
we know that Basra, the capital of Irak is not a harbour and that the
Irak Country wishes that his harbour would be Koweit.
It is evident that there is no better hmroour for the Arabi
Seludite Government on the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. than tne one of Kowsit which is
the main way of communications and traffic to the markets of India,Iran
. Afghanistan and the Mdole-East in general.
^e must add to this importance of Koweit the Treaty with
Great-Britaidwhich assumes the independence of its internal ullairs and
its protection against any foreign attempt.
*e must bear in mind that Koweit at a time, which is before
the lest great war, was talkidgf about by all political personn&lities
of the world . It was on all newspapers also, having oeen indicated
33 being the terminus of the East which line was plannee Oy the hx-
K&lser 'iiliam. Moreover, the discovery of petrol-pits since two years
'■ < md the expectation of more quantities to be found in them nave given
x roweit a greater importance.
By all this we see the important political situation of
•oweit. Al 3 o‘ , J being a rule in Arabian countries that the Emirs them-
9 Ives render their orders and to them only are referred all national
uestions to be dealt with, it is evident how dedicate is the post c.
i private secretary to an Arabian Emir and that tne presence of Ez& t
ohamed Gaffar Bey in such post is a mark of his high qualifications
ind. merit for which we convey to him our sincere congratulations*
