Foreign students express views
Sadat's death affects students
by Amir Saj jadi
The assassination of
Egyptian president Anwar
Sadat last Tuesday has
been a topic of con-
versation throughout the
world. Many foreign
students here at TSU have
been following the news for
the past week, and some
have agreed to express
their views about it.
A Jordanian graduate
student thinks of Sadat as
"a peace leader only for
the Egyptian people."
He said, "It's true that
Sadat was a pioneer in
peace in the Middle East,
but who was benefitted by
his peace treaty? I think he
did his best only for his own
country and left other
nations alone.
"He wanted to be backed
by Israel, which is now a
powerful country in the
region. Israel had invaded
many Arab countries, such
as Iraq and Lebanon, not
doing any hostility to
Egypt. So I'm wondering
what kind of peace treaty
this is. I think it's better
called an "Egypt-Israel"
peace treaty, because it
had no benefits for other
Middle East countries."
A graduate student from
Taiwan believes that what
happened last Tuesday was
a tragedy in which the
world lost a great man. She
said, "Sadat was a man of
principles. He could show
to the world that people in
Israel have worked on their
land for many years, and
they deserve it; and they
have rights they want to
have protected.
"It's been almost 40
years since Jewish people
were ordered out of their
own countries during
World War II; and many of
them came to (Israel). A
whole new generation has
been developed since then,
and you just can't ignore
this fact.
"I think that was the
point Sadat tried to make in
his peace treaty, and I feel
very sorry for what hap-
pened."
A senior from Cyprus
looks at the event from a
humanitarian viewpoint.
He said, "I am against any
kind of violence. I don't
care what happened and
who the victim was. Many
people are being murdered
every day, all around the
world, and Sadat was one
of them.
"There is no doubt that
the next Egyptian
president will follow the
same policy as Sadat.
Therefore, there will be no
benefits to the people
responsible for the
assassination. I feel bad for
the whole situation."
An Iranian agricultural
student thinks thai Sadat
created the situation that
led to his assassination.
"Among 27 countries in the
region," he said, "only
Sudan and Oman were
friends of Sadat. He was
the only leader in the world
who accepted the Shah of
Iran and actually proved
his loyalty to him. That
created a tremendous hate
within our nation.
"On the other case, he
signed the Camp David
Peace Treaty with Israel,
which put Palestinians far
behind what they have
expected, I think he made
his biggest mistake by
being too friendly with the
United States, which is not
known as a friend to the
Middle East countries."
