Anwar Sadat: Killed for Making Peace with Israel?

On a beautiful sunny day in March 1979, as thousands of Egyptians awaited in anticipation, a plane landed in Cairo. Moments later, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat stepped out, welcomed by thunderous cheers from an overjoyed crowd. He had just returned to his country from Washington D.C., where five days earlier he had signed a historic treaty with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and U.S. President Jimmy Carter, bringing an end to three decades of war and hostilities between Israelis and Egyptians. *********************************************************************************** Sources: Africa: A Modern History 1945-2015, Guy Arnold Encyclopedia of African History, Kevin Shillington The State of Africa after Independence , Martin Meredith ******************************************************************************** Music: John Stockton Slow Drag by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence.
