Despite the distance and differing circumstances, the love for Egypt remains alive in the hearts of its sons and daughters abroad, undiminished by distance or the passage of time. The Egyptian expatriate did not leave his homeland to flee it, but rather in pursuit of a better opportunity, carrying within him a deep and unwavering sense of belonging.
Egyptians abroad have been, and continue to be, a pillar of support for the Egyptian state, not only through financial remittances, which represent a vital source of revenue for the national economy, but also through conveying Egypt's image to the world, defending it in various forums, and contributing their expertise and knowledge whenever the opportunity arises.
Love for one's country does not mean remaining silent in the face of challenges. Many Egyptians abroad follow events in their homeland with concern and interest, sometimes offering criticism motivated by fear, not hostility, and with the intention of reform, not destruction. Honest criticism is a form of love, and differing opinions do not negate belonging.
Support for Egypt is not limited to financial contributions; it is also manifested in humanitarian acts, in assisting family members, in standing with the country during difficult times, and in preserving Egyptian identity and culture amidst diverse societies. The Egyptian expatriate teaches his children the dialect, tells them stories of the Nile, of the old streets, and of a homeland that has never left his heart.
Ultimately, the relationship between Egypt and its children abroad will remain primarily emotional, rather than material. It is a relationship built on longing, responsibility, and hope for a better future. For Egypt does not only live on its land, but also in the hearts of millions of its children around the world, all of whom say in their own way: Egypt is in our hearts, no matter how far we are from it.
