As part of Alexandria University’s celebrations of the glorious October Victory, and under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Abdelaziz Konsowa, President of the University, the Faculty of Dentistry organized an educational seminar in cooperation with the Armed Forces Department of Popular and Military Defense, titled “Strategic Deception… The Key to the October Victory.” The event was held at Professor Dr. Lotfy Abou El-Ala Auditorium at the Faculty.

The seminar opened with a welcoming speech by Dr. Reham Mostafa El-Debany, Acting Dean of the Faculty, who warmly greeted the distinguished guests, notably Brigadier General (Staff) Dr. Ahmed El-Kady, strategic researcher, former advisor at the Armed Forces Center for Economic Studies, and one of the heroes of the October War; Colonel Mohamed Maher, Director of the Military Education Department at Alexandria University; and Lieutenant Colonel Shehab El-Din Magdy, Deputy Director of the Department.

In her address, Dr. El-Debany emphasized that such events serve as a platform to strengthen the values of national belonging among students and to draw inspiration from the lessons of victory, determination, and planning embodied in the heroic battles of October.

During the seminar, Brigadier General (Staff) Dr. Ahmed El-Kady delivered an insightful lecture on the concept of strategic deception as one of the main keys to the October Victory. He explained how the Egyptian leadership succeeded in devising an integrated deception plan that confused the enemy and diverted its attention from the timing and direction of the decisive strike—through a series of innovative strategies that demonstrated the genius of the Egyptian mind and its deep faith in the justice of its cause.

Dr. El-Kady affirmed that strategic deception was the mastermind behind the battle, and that victory was achieved through science, planning, and the steadfast will that characterized the Egyptian army and people during this historic turning point.

For his part, Colonel Mohamed Maher noted that the October War represented an enduring model of how scientific thinking and smart planning served as a “soft power” on the battlefield. He stressed that the strategic deception employed by the Egyptian army was a purely Egyptian innovation in conflict management, proving to the world that intelligence, faith, and awareness can surpass material and technological superiority.

At the conclusion of the seminar, the Faculty of Dentistry honored Brigadier General Dr. Ahmed El-Kady in appreciation of his national and academic contributions, amid a wave of applause and pride from the students, who expressed their deep admiration for the patriotic messages and inspiring lessons on leadership, planning, and perseverance conveyed throughout the event.

The seminar witnessed notable attendance from both academic and military leaders, including Dr. Mohamed Mamdouh Shoukry, Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs, Dr. Maha Ramzy Talab, Vice Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development Affairs, as well as a number of faculty members, staff, and a large turnout of enthusiastic students.
