Algeria versus Egypt: the legacy of Sadat-Mubarak
Make no mistake about it. The hooliganism displayed by Egyptian soccer fans against the Algerian visitors in Egypt is the direct and logical product of the acute chauvinist Qutri nationailsm that has been propagated, nourished, supported, and sponsored by the Egyptian regime since Answar Sadat. Egypt under Nasser was sponsoring fund raising campaigns to support the Algerian Revolution, and the Egypt of Mubarak-Sadat is responsible for attacks on Algerian players and fans who are visiting Cairo.
