It'd be great if history Channel funded these instead of pawnshops and aliens

Fought for Arab world not Africans. We don't recognize his achievements in the south of Africa.

​@@user-zc1cx8jc4sHe was Pan-Arabist but also fought for all Africans rights.

Nasser is not taught in African schools due to cultural imperialist influence in some, but not all post-colonial African countries.

@@user-zc1cx8jc4s Just talk to any South African and you will change your opinion.

He wasn't. Your father was lied to like most of the generation.

I'm from former Yugoslavia, and he was an icon here!

He died a total fucking failure

Thank you Darren!

Much respect from New Zealand

Yes, it seemed fair and relatively balanced. I think it laid out a decent balance sheet of Nasser's pluses and minuses, his achievements and failures. After watching the video and thinking deeply about each part of it, I must conclude that while he was the modern Arab (and African leader) who cast the longest shadow, I cannot say that he was a great leader like Salahaddin Ayubi in his time. With respect to the decolonization of Africa, I have little doubt that his striking a blow against British colonialism and by extension French colonialism (by supporting the Algerian FLN), he opened the road to the decolonization of the rest of Africa south of the Sahara because the European colonial powers were made to realize by Nasser that the old days of imperialist colonialism had drawn to a close and their overseas empires were not sustainable. Nasser inspired other Africans to take their destinies in their own hands and acted as a role model along, of course, with greats like Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyere and Jomo Kenyatta. Nasser's non-alignment was wise, but his excessive monopolization of power both within Egypt and within the erstwhile pan-Arab unions were his undoing in my opinion.

If you are the uneducated "West" of course you know nothing about him so speak for yourself.

He's well known in the west.

@@joannakarlsson3423 try finding him in history books

Very well said

Brother Khaled, with all due respect I think you got a bit carried away there with your love of President Nasser. Was he a great and popular modern Arab leader, definitely yes. Was he the only leader in human history to gain the love of his people, surely not. Was his funeral the biggest in human history? Who knows? I wasn't there at all the other huge funerals in history. Were you? LOL

😢😢😢

??

Nobody can say them y'all.🤷

Sorry brother. We respect you alls beautiful names. Just not eloquent enough to say them correctly. 🙏🤭

Nagweeeb

Nah, Israel strikes back video next 😂

You forgot his defeat against Israel in 1967, his support for the Yemeni coup whoch overthrew the monarchy and replaced it with a military dictatorship and his support for Algeria in the Sand War which did not prevent them from being wooped by Morroco...

Explain?

It's in the pipeline.

They already did one on mao

Honestly, in any and every revolution there are winners and losers. Regretfully, your dad seemed to have been one of the losers, perhaps because his property was confiscated by Nasser's government. I don't know your dad's personal circumstances, so I have no further comment to make about that. However, from the standpoint of the Arabs, Africans, Latin Americans and Asians, not to mention people of color in the USA, the US Government is no hero. Today, with our Gazan brothers and sisters being slaughtered in Palestine thanks to Genocide Joe, we have lost whatever respect with might have had for the US Government. In contrast, despite his faults and errors, many of them common to leaders in the post-colonial states of the Global South, Nasser was still a great man who built up Egypt and gave pride to Egyptians, Arabs, Africans and many others in the Global South.

Great of all time

Traitor to whom exactly? This is the most ret*rded take i’ve ever heard

Egyptians belong to the Caucasian and Ethiopian races. Where are the black people here?

@@BHimnos Can we stop playing the sectarian race and identity card here? Please? We need to focus on devoted citizenship, not our racial origin. We can leave that concept in the dustbin of history along with the Nazis, Zionists and the rest. We have enough problems and it undermines our unity as people fighting against the unjust world order.

@@rashidal-banna6082 It is bad and harmful that Nazis and Zionists use racial theories to justify inequality. But this does not negate the fact that races, as groups of populations with a common genetic history, exist. Moreover, in the Post-Soviet space, racial science is quite an official science within the framework of biology.

You mean the great traitor, Anwar Al-Sadat? Give us a break, dude! Also, get your facts straight. At no point did Israhell west of the so-called green line ever have a citizen population including one third Palestinians.

So far the "Islamic" regimes haven't been fighting for the Muslims or the Arabs. They have been stooges of the US, the other western powers and Israel.

So ,Gamal didn't fight for Islam? I also saw his wife wore western dress

@@mahirrahman8942Nassar was an Arab Nationalist, which doesn’t work because the golden age of Arab Islam has passed and will never return, there’s no need, the majority of Muslims aren’t Arab, the Arabs will always have a special place in Islam, but as the Prophet said an Arab is not better than a Non Arab and a Non Arab is not better than an Arab.

@@thegoodpimps yes. Actually he didn't fight for Islam. He is not Islam friendly. He was just arab-nationalist,which means he work for Arabic people,not Muslim.

@@thegoodpimps but can I ask you? Which country are you from?

Liar, liar, liar

Have those Egyptian "leaders" who preceded and followed him done any better in creating a modern democracy in Egypt or have they done as bad or worse in your humble opinion? Be honest and objective if you can. Also, please keep in mind that until today there is no country anywhere among the post-colonial states of the Global South with a stable, sustainable democratic system with full respect for the human rights of the citizens. That is the legacy of colonialism and internal contradictions in these states. Is there a reverse brain drain in some of the dictatorial states of the Global South? Yes. Look at China for example and there are others.

He's not a big mouth, but you are a big coward

Modern Egyptians are direct descendants of the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt. Several thousand Arab conquerors could not replace the multi-million population of Egypt. The social life of the Egyptian fellahs also does not differ from the life of their ancient ancestors.

@@BHimnos Egypt was conquered quite a few times the Modern Egypt are not ancient Kemet bloodline.

​@@ashleykg3322 As a result of the conquests, only the ruling elite changed. It was not profitable for all these conquerors to bend their backs and switch to agriculture, which is very specific in the Nile Delta. In addition, there is numerous evidence that the Greeks, Romans and Syrians, during the Roman era, lived in isolation and about the massive conversion of hundreds of thousands of Copts to Islam.

​​@@ashleykg3322 You do know that what you're saying here has no genealogical or historical background, right? You're just another afrocentrist who can't begin to fathom that the North of Africa may be a few shades lighter than the South or Center. And I dare you or anyone like you to bring me a trustable source which blatantly says that modern-day Egyptians aren't the Egyptians of the past.

@@Valedity Hilarious! Arabs are not Egyptians. Their bloodlines do not tie to ancient Kemet. Even Herodotus described what the ancient Egyptians looked like and his description doesn’t look like the people there now. Why because they are the children of the invaders. Nothing to be offended about just truth.

Thanks for your extreme pessimism. The Arab World will rise again, Insha Allah!

Please see my comments. Let's take a balanced vew of President Nasser, considering both his achievements and failures. Compared to those who preceded and followed him, he seems far superior. At least he wasn't a stooge of the US and Israel like Sisi is. Did he have political prisoners and a lousy human rights record? Absolutely. However, he never turned the Egyptian Army against the people of Egypt the way Sisi has.

@@rashidal-banna6082 Excuse me, but you might not be fully aware of the situation and history in Egypt. Initially, Nasser was hailed by the Arab League but posed challenges for Egyptians. He advocated for pan-Arab unity and engaged the Egyptian Army in conflicts that weren't necessarily in Egypt's best interests. If Nasser were in power today, he might have fallen into the trap set by Iran to fight the occupation in Palestine "Alone", potentially sparking a conflict that would draw the West into confrontation with Egypt. That's why SiSi's approach appears astute; he recognized the dangers posed to Egypt and avoided falling into the same pitfalls. It's important to note that the Egyptian army has never turned against its own people. Instead, it plays a crucial role in safeguarding the nation, fostering development, ensuring security, and defending our borders. The unity between Egypt and its army was evident when they collaborated to expel the spies Brotherhood gang from the country, a group that still holds animosity towards the army.
