In a scene that honored the martyrs’ sacrifices and evoked Arab solidarity and a shared destiny, His Excellency Ambassador Abdelmutalib Idris Thabit, Libya’s Permanent Representative to the Arab League and chargé d’affaires of the Libyan Embassy in Cairo, visited the Arab Martyrs’ Cemetery at the Central Military Zone — “Al-Ghafeer Cemetery” in the Salah Salem area. He was accompanied by Major General (Ret.) Khaled Mustafa Tawfiq, President of the Arab Union of Veterans and War Victims and former Assistant Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces, as part of the events commemorating the victories of the glorious October War.

The visit began with a ceremony honoring the martyrs at the memorial, during which the Martyr’s Salute was played and a wreath was laid. A group commemorative photo of the attendees followed, a scene that reflected official appreciation for the martyrs’ sacrifices and pride in what they gave for their homelands.

At a particularly significant stop, Ambassador Abdelmutalib Thabit visited the graves of the sixteen Libyan martyrs, reciting Al-Fatiha for their pure souls, recalling their sacrifices and their service to Arab causes, and stressing that honoring the martyrs is both a national and humanitarian duty, and that their memory will remain alive in the conscience of the Libyan people.

The program also included visits to the graves of the late Egyptian President Mohamed Naguib, Field Marshal Ahmed Badawi, and Field Marshal Ahmed Ismail, in tribute to their memory and in recognition of their national service.

This visit reaffirms the deep fraternal and historical ties between Libya and Egypt, embodies the values of loyalty and Arab solidarity, and preserves the memory of the martyrs who, through their sacrifices, wrote luminous pages in the nation’s history, so that their deeds remain a source of pride for generations to come.
