The Independent: Suez Canal is the symbol of Egypt's national pride
In line with Mohab Mamish, the head of the Suez Canal Authority who said that “Suez Canal is Egypt’s gift to the world,” the British newspaper The Independent reported that the Suez Canal remains a “symbol of national pride” to the Egyptians beyond its economic capabilities and a symbol of what the country is capable of.
The reporter featured its tour in Suez Canal showing the Egyptian national sentiment towards the new canal, holding up the two fingers peace symbol and Egyptian flags along with a shiny silver metal statue of Isis the goddess of protection.
