Mohamed Hassanein Heikal writes: How was the selection of (Hosni Mubarak) as Vice-President .. And why?
Quoting gate sunrise Mubarak and his time from the platform to the field (Episode II) Began to follow up to the President of the «Hosni Mubarak» from far distance, from close attention when he appeared on the public arena for the first time commander of the Air Force Egyptian in the difficult conditions that followed the events of June of 1967, I never thought the time for one moment that this man will ruled Egypt for thirty years, and thinking of transferring to his son after the verdict. When it became «Mubarak» president after the assassination of President «Anwar Sadat» in October 1981, I started up and we are still after in prison «Torah» (within the arrests in September the famous 1981), remind myself and others similarly French is common, which is used by the famous French « Andre Maurois »title for one of his novels, is that« the unexpected always happens!! ». ● ● ● And the Secretariat have heard the team «Mohamed Fawzi» (Minister of Defence) provides for «Mubarak» when «Gamal Abdel Nasser» When I nominated him as chief of staff in the Air Force during the war of attrition, and the testimony of the team «Mohamed Fawzi» praise for nominated him, and then was to become the man after having been chosen by President «Sadat» commander of the Corps of general interest and wide, because the Air Force at the time was undergoing a reorganization cumbersome, this process was conducted in compliance with the arms turn in the war of attrition, during which the succession to lead the flight of five leaders are : «Sedky Mahmoud» and «Madkour Aboul», and «Mustafa Hinnawi», and «Ali Baghdadi», could not any of these leaders to complete the term natural, and therefore, the coming of each and every one of them to lead the flight was the case of furan restless atmosphere charged within one of the most important weapons in the moment of the greatest moments of need to do!! ● ● ● The first thing I met «Mubarak» Meeting coincidence cross, I was on a date with Secretary of War, a time the team «Mohammed Ahmed Sadek» When I entered his office Mara room Iaurh Some leaders are waiting to meet «Minister», among them «Mubarak », and I remember him sitting in his hand a briefcase did not leave her out of his hand, when the peace and introduced himself, and of course, I shook hands with him with respect, saying to him in a compliment, which is the first meeting:« The role of the most important roles in the next stage, and «the whole country» expected performance »Word is:« God willing, be good when everyone thought », and was invited to the office of the team« honest », entered, and the coincidence of a precautionary measure to« Mubarak »before of seconds present in my mind necessarily with the increased interest in aviation and its leader, and began I asked the team «honest» for «Mubarak» Is estimated at?!, and his response was «that the officer most willing in the air force now after all that succession to lead the arms of volatility», I do not know what made some of the questions that came to me from my follow up's «Mubarak »since appeared in the public arena, and was meant what I said related to a question from above the surface (as they say): How the man would stay near the top in-arms through all the conflicts and changes, which caught under the leadership of his weapon and how he was able to retain its location with four of the leaders before him, and every one of them had changes and movements are conducted?!! Increase this observation as well which I said: I heard «stories» for his role in the incidents of the island of «Abba» two years ago (a rebellion of Mahdia on the regime of President of Sudan «Jaafar Nimeiri», and the outbreak of armed conflict between the two teams of 1970), according to «stories» and with some signs the «Mubarak» went to Sudan in the company of Vice President «Anwar Sadat», to discuss what can be done by Egypt to calm an explosive south of the Nile Valley, and to strengthen the position of «Jaafar Nimeiri» in such circumstances the Arab-critical, and was the first recommendation of theMission «Anwar Sadat» the time is the response to the request of the Sudanese President, that the Egyptian aircraft stationed her days in the Sudan strike sites Mahdia on the island of «Abba» to prevent the departure of its troops to the course of the Nile, and access to the capital «triangular», and discussions took place in Cairo to study the recommendation of the mission « Sadat »in« Khartoum », was the decision after in-depth research not involving any Egyptian planes to strike at any site, and« it can not force the Egyptian Sudanese shed blood under any circumstances ». Then came a few days later that the assassinated leader of Mahdia Mr. «Hadi Mahdi».And spread tales of an explosive charge placed inside a basket of mangoes reached, and it was said in what has been said about the assassination, Major General «Hosni Mubarak» (which is the second man in the Mission «Khartoum» with «Sadat») was not far from secretes they contain, Indeed, some Sudanese media time and then when he became «Mubarak» president accused him directly that he was the invisible hand, which orchestrated the murder of Imam «Hadi Mahdi». I pointed to all that attention quickly flying time and conditions, and the response team «honest»: that he heard as I heard, but he does not know more. The «honest»: «If« Mubarak »has entered in this matter, must be urgency and the original measure was part of« Nimeiri », then it must be« Anwar Sadat »he knew» and added «honest»: «that the first Advantages «Mubarak» it obedient to his superiors, implemented what they ask, is not opposed to them », he moved us to the subject of what I came for him to visit him. ● ● ● The second time I met «Mubarak» in that period during the battles of October 1973 and was the other to meet coincidences passing, I went to the center 10 (which is the command center of the battle), and I was there on a date with the Commander-team «Ahmed Ismail» , and we were on the fifth day of the war (12 October), and Major General «Mubarak» (commander of the Air Force) there, and I accept at me rapidly, and the remarkable features of interest, and asked, «How did Al-Ahram details of the battle which took place over the base« Mansoura »and he was present at the base and met a pilot Israeli plane was shot down, and brought the pilot prisoner to meet with the commander of the Egyptian aviation, and they had a dialogue, in which he said« Mubarak »the pilot captive: he followed his flock during theengagement, and note the errors he committed, and asked him what happened to you?!We imagine the Israeli pilots more efficient, does Ngertm?!! Israeli pilot responded, saying: «have not changed, sir, but you Ngertm». And asked me «Mubarak» he walked with me in the corridor leading to the office of the team «Ahmed Ismail», urgently: «How do we know this story?! With that the battle took place in the evening yesterday, which details the transfer of the telephone to President «Sadat» yesterday, and then read in full «Al-Ahram», which is not only to rub the head alone, how «knew» then?!! And I said: «the rule of the brigade, not the question clear? We know from the president himself », is the Lord and has a surprising degree of increase: From the president himself? Also carried the letter to him?! Then he observed in which he said: «Hey .. You people Jamedin de force!! ». We've come to the office of «Ahmed Ismail», who left the hall Operations Management, and came to his office close to her Aleghany, and we went to the office, and left the commander of aviation is still shown surprise at the speed of communications between the president and «Al-Ahram»!! Perhaps he was surprised that more of it from this direct contact between the aviation commander and the President of the Republic is by the Commander in Chief, but I was not surprised at the time, it was envisioned for the eagerness of President direct contact Procures without regard to the chain of command!! ● ● ● And passed on these conversations several years, of what happened, and within which the violent conflict in May 1971 between President «Sadat» and what is called the time b «centers of power», in the wake of that conflict would happen if President «Sadat» left me a set of papers was on the office of Mr. «Sami Sharaf» (Director of the Office of the President of the information), and Dr «Ashraf Marwan» the man behind the «Sami Sharaf» in the office of information may be carried to him, Lee said President «Sadat» day, which refers to the briefcase in front of him «Take You like «old paper», and you have the patience to read, I have no patience I have it!! ».
