Suggestion that Egypt would enter Syria and support a Syrian National Army to stabilize war-torn Syria. SNA would be a replacement for the now-defunct and disgraced Syrian Arab Army with the SNA being a melting pot to assimilate all ethnicities and all emergent armed groups in Syria after a process of national reconciliation.
The article is written from the point of view of the As'Sissi administration of Government of Egypt towards the war in Syria.
Conditions are improved for citizens general security in Egypt.
Not bad since Egypt was targeted for destruction and subjugation by Obama and American DemoRat Globalist degenerates.
Egypt's continued pro action could do considerable good.
Exactly, as part of their surround and terminate the state of Israel. I’m sure Obama had great hopes of fundimental transformation on behalf of his muslim friends.
Please walk me through your thinking — I must be completely missing something. Thanks for posting the story — It is very interesting that a balloon like this to be out there.
For Egypt to intervene in the Syrian morass under the pretext of sponsoring a “national” army seems so absurd that I immediately assumed the article was the work of either the Mossad or the CIA-Obama-Kerry-Clinton-McCain pro-war axis. Is there a Syrian “nationality”? Is Egypt part of it? The UAR episode suggests that the common thread is a dominant Arab ethnicity, not national identity. An Egyptian-sponsored multi-ethnic army rejecting Arabism seems wishful. Why would Assad want an external force to “reorganize” the army on which he depends for survival? Should al-Sissi risk wrecking his own fragile polity pursuing this adventure?; or is that the desired outcome? Russian Roulette indeed.
That article is a serious analysis of Egypt’s challenge with the Syrian situation.
It will be basically impossible to please all the parties involved, however - that is just the convoluted nature of the Middle East.
Whether or not Egypt gets involved on the ground though, a rebranding of the Syrian regime and the Syrian Army would probably go a long way toward a successful settlement.
Doing away with the “Arab” in the Syrian Arab Army, implies doing away with (or subordinating) the racist Ba’athist ideology (”Arab Nationalism”) which is really just Nazism for the Arab race, instead of an Aryan race.
If this mess results in the end of the world’s last Nazi-inspired regime, that would be at least some redeeming value. Likely the same folks would still be at the same desks afterward (like the end of many Communist regimes), but at least they could put the worst of that ideology behind them.
The Egyptian people will be darned lucky to just hang onto their own government (against another takeover by Muslim Brotherhood terrorist type gangsters such as when Obama helped them seize control just a couple years ago), and against the Obama-installed terrorist gangsters in (bordering) Libya now
Sending Egypt’s “excess population” to die in Syria... does not help anybody, imho, especially not Egypt
Egypt could have some political appeal to the Syrian regime, because Egypt (under Nasser) was among the original three countries to join up for a “Pan-Arab” political force (along with Syrian and Iraqi Ba’athists).
Egypt has long been the military superpower of the Arab world though. They are the only Arab force that has a chance of standing up to the Turkish Army (the second biggest in NATO), which has been interfering in Syria.
Egypt is also the only secular government that might be willing to commit a large enough force in Syria to stabilize the place after a political settlement.
Egypt has a good case to get the stabilization and reconstruction job, as a party which was not involved in the conflict, speaks the language, and has a large enough force. They are also hard up economically, and could really use the job, if the International community would pay the tab.
Egypt and Syria used to be the same country, too.
You have a lot of questions and I anticipate that Murad can answer them, just send a tweet to him

IMHO it would be a a good idea if Egypt could take over the responsibility for Syria.
