The Immigration Ministry headed by Nabila Makram, launched Thursday, a national “Speak Egyptian” initiative, which aims to educate Egyptian expatriates on the history and identity of Egypt as well as teaching them Arabic. That initiative came within the state's efforts to spread cultural and national awareness among the Egyptian people, especially residing abroad. Also, it firmly seeks to entrench the Egyptian identity once more, away from all the attempts and schemes to sabotage it.
