From the Egyptian People to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Majesty King Saman bin Abdulaziz, and Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman
The Egyptian people have relations based on mutual respect with all peoples, provided that they reciprocate the same mutual respect.
The Egyptian people are troubled by the policies of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia towards Egypt. Saudi Arabia exploited Egypt’s tyrannical dictatorship in order to assume sovereignty over the islands of Tiran and Sanafir, which the Egyptian judiciary and historical factsr have proven to be Egyptian. All the agreements signed by Saudi Arabia with Egypt’s tyrant are null and void under the following provisions of Egypt’s constitution:
Article 1
The Arab Republic of Egypt is a sovereign, united, indivisible State, where no part may be given up, having a democratic republican system that is based on citizenship and the rule of law. The Egyptian people are part of the Arab nation seeking to enhance its integration and unity. Egypt is part of the Islamic world, belongs to the African continent, cherishes its Asian dimension, and contributes to building human civilization.
Article 151
The President of the Republic shall represent the State in its foreign relations and conclude treaties and ratify them after the approval of the House of Representatives. Such treaties shall acquire the force of law following their publication in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. Voters must be called for referendum on the treaties related to making peace and alliance, and those related to the rights of sovereignty. Such treaties shall only be ratified after the announcement of their approval in the referendum. In all cases, no treaty may be concluded which is contrary to the provisions of the Constitution or which results in ceding any part of state territories.
The Egyptian judiciary has determined history by rejecting the despotic general’s cession of the two islands. It said, “The court has decided to reject the plea of lack of jurisdiction to hear the two lawsuits. The court accepts the two lawsuits and invalidates the signature of the representative of the Egyptian border demarcation agreement between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia signed in April 2016, which included the cession of the islands of Tiran and Sanafir. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with the consequences thereof, in particular, the continuation of these two islands within the Egypt’s territory and borders, and the continuation of Egypt’s sovereignty over them, or the prohibition of changing their description in any way in favor of any other State, as indicated in the reasons.” The Court pointed out that because the two islands are within Egyptian territory, they are subject to full Egyptian sovereignty, and according to the text of Article (151) of the Constitution of the Arab Republic of Egypt issued on January 18, 2014, it is prohibited to conclude any agreement that includes the ceding of any part of Egyptian territory.
Maps and documents prove Egypt’s sovereignty over the islands of Tiran and Sanafir. A map of Egypt, the first edition of which was published in 1912 and its second edition in 1913, shows the names of the Egyptian islands, including Tiran and Sanafir, while the Saudi islands appear without names.
Before the cession of Tiran and Sanafir, the total area of Egypt was about 1,001,449 square kilometers. This included the Sinai Peninsula, which covers an area of about 61,100 square kilometers. After the ceding of Tiran and Sanafir, Egypt’s total area decreased to about 995,458 square kilometers. This represents a decrease of about 6,000 square kilometers (2,300 square miles) or 0.6% of Egypt’s total area.
Not only did Saudi Arabia and its leadership help a tyrannical ruler (Sisi), but ittemporarily took control of the islands of Tiran and Sanafir. They also worked hard to seize another part of Egypt’s homeland, Ras Jamila, overlooking the Red Sea coast, opposite the islands of Tiran and Sanafir. Saudi Arabia’s Okaz newspaper said Egypt was preparing to offer the land to Saudi Arabia before the newspaper pulled the report from its website.
In conclusion, we would like to clarifythe following:
Based on the foregoing, it should be clear to you that all agreements with Egypt’s tyrant are invalid under the Egyptian Constitution and according to Egypt’s judiciary. As soon as democratic rule is regained in Egypt, the Egyptian people will work to recover all their wealth and land.
A legal committee, comprised of the main signatories to this letter, will prepare files of the various cases to be established when the time comes. Through an international legal office, the committee will prove each claim and demand the return of these resources and assets to the people of Egypt. In accordance with and based upon the theory of emergency, force majeure, or exceptional circumstances (including the coup agreements), the Egyptian people have the right to object to any contract that affects Egypt’s land, resources, or national security.
