Faculty of Economic Studies and Political Science Celebrates the Glorious October Victory with a Seminar Entitled “Heroes of the Sea and Makers of Victory”
As part of Alexandria University’s celebrations of the Glorious October Victory, and under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Abdelaziz Konsowa, President of Alexandria University, the Faculty of Economic Studies and Political Science organized on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, a seminar entitled “Heroes of the Sea and Makers of Victory.”
The seminar hosted Rear Admiral Omar Ezz El-Din and Rear Admiral Nabil Abdel Wahab, two of the heroic figures of the Egyptian Navy.
The seminar opened with a speech by Dr. Shereen Adel Nosseir, Acting Dean of the Faculty, who warmly welcomed the distinguished guests and emphasized that this event comes within the comprehensive educational and awareness-raising mission of Alexandria University to acquaint its students with Egypt’s glorious history and the heroic sacrifices of its men who embodied the highest meanings of loyalty, devotion, and patriotism.
She noted that October 6, 1973, marks a defining moment in Egypt’s modern history, when the Egyptian Armed Forces wrote—through the blood and valor of their soldiers—an immortal epic of glory and dignity, reflecting unwavering determination and the will to reclaim the homeland’s honor and land.
The seminar was moderated by Dr. Ahmed El-Hamrawy, Lecturer of Political Science at the Faculty, who stressed that this event is not merely a commemoration of a cherished national anniversary, but also a renewal of the nation’s pledge to continue safeguarding its land and building its future. He highlighted the pivotal role played by the Egyptian Navy in achieving victory through meticulous planning, courageous execution, and great sacrifice, before presenting the distinguished biographies of the honored guests.
In his address, Rear Admiral Omar Ezz El-Din reviewed the heroic stages leading up to the October victories, affirming that the triumph was the result of a long journey of perseverance and bravery that began with the War of Attrition, which marked a turning point after the setback of 1967. He referred to the Battle of Ras El-Esh as the first sign of Egyptian resilience, followed by the naval missile boat operations that culminated in the destruction of the Israeli destroyer Eilat on October 21, 1967, delivering a powerful blow to the enemy and restoring national pride.
Meanwhile, Rear Admiral Nabil Abdel Wahab discussed the major naval operations carried out against Eilat Port, shedding light on the bravery of the Egyptian frogmen in the raids of November 8 and 15, 1969, and recounting the heroic story of Martyr Mohamed Fawzy El-Barqouky, who chose to embrace martyrdom rather than withdraw and leave his comrades behind. He also detailed the devastating impact of these operations on the enemy’s fleet and port facilities, which inflicted heavy losses on Israel.
Admiral Abdel Wahab further emphasized that victory was not achieved by weaponry alone, but through the faith, conviction, and combat spirit deeply rooted in the Egyptian soldier’s heart—fighting for a just cause, with unshakable belief in God and love for the homeland—which made all the difference in the battles of liberation.
The seminar witnessed a wide turnout of faculty members, teaching assistants, and students, who interacted enthusiastically with the speakers and engaged in a lively discussion, to which the naval heroes responded with appreciation and pride.
The event concluded with an affirmation that the October Victory will forever remain a symbol of national pride and an everlasting source of inspiration for generations to come in Egypt’s ongoing journey of progress and development.
