Anwar Sadat, a legendary figure of Egypt's modern history, passed away on October 6, 1981, at the age of 62. He was the third President of Egypt, holding office for 11 years from October 15, 1970, until his sudden death at the hands of assassins. Sadat was born in Mit Abu El Kom, Egypt, on December 25, 1918. His father, Anwar Mohammed El Sadat, and mother, Sit Magathering Ibrahim, were farmers. Sadat's career in politics began in the 1940s. He joined the Free Officers Movement, led by John Nasser, and participated in the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. From there, he served in various military and political offices, including Minister of State. In 1970, Sadat was sworn in as president of Egypt following the death of President Nasser. Under his rule, Egypt made significant economic and cultural accomplishments, and he was praised for his efforts to negotiate peace with Israel. Tragically, Anwar Sadat's life was cut short when he was assassinated on October 6, 1981, during a military parade to commemorate his victory in the October War. He is survived by his wife, Jehan Sadat, and two sons, Gamal and Alaa. Though he is gone, Anwar Sadat will continue to be remembered and revered in Egypt as a great leader and an advocate of peace.
