1
00:08:30,726 --> 00:08:34,126
My fellow Egyptians

2
00:08:35,486 --> 00:08:39,966
the Suez canal, flowing through
our country like a major artery

3
00:08:41,366 --> 00:08:44,846
was built
by our fathers and grandfathers

4
00:08:45,526 --> 00:08:47,446
and belongs to us!

5
00:08:54,886 --> 00:08:56,742
But the company
that purportedly owns this canal

6
00:08:56,766 --> 00:08:59,606
is British and French.

7
00:09:00,886 --> 00:09:04,366
Well, I say they do not own it.

8
00:09:05,006 --> 00:09:07,166
They stole it.

9
00:09:09,806 --> 00:09:14,086
I imagined I had seen
ferdinand de lesseps

10
00:09:14,926 --> 00:09:16,206
'that's the codeword.'

11
00:09:22,406 --> 00:09:25,406
Ferdinand de lesseps

12
00:09:26,486 --> 00:09:31,966
the engineer
who built the canal in 1869...

13
00:09:35,926 --> 00:09:37,806
We have fought for years

14
00:09:38,446 --> 00:09:41,486
to eliminate the odious effects
of the past

15
00:09:41,566 --> 00:09:43,646
of the colonialism and despotism

16
00:09:45,806 --> 00:09:47,166
which have ruled us for centuries!

17
00:09:53,126 --> 00:09:57,166
Tonight fellow countrymen,
I am proud to inform you

18
00:10:04,446 --> 00:10:07,246
We have taken back the Suez canal!

19
00:10:10,006 --> 00:10:13,446
It is now in Egyptian hands.

20
00:10:14,046 --> 00:10:17,366
And it will be run

21
00:10:17,846 --> 00:10:19,046
by Egyptians!

22
00:10:21,086 --> 00:10:23,326
Because today our time has come

23
00:10:24,566 --> 00:10:28,526
for freedom from colonial oppressors!

24
00:10:30,326 --> 00:10:31,766
Freedom from colonial thieves!

25
00:10:32,446 --> 00:10:33,606
Freedom!

26
00:26:01,766 --> 00:26:04,366
President nasser.
A pleasure to meet you.

27
00:26:05,606 --> 00:26:06,846
Thank you lieutenant.

28
00:26:07,566 --> 00:26:09,046
The pleasure is all mine.
