Egypt\u2019s Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli approved a decree to issue a new national order dubbed \u201cTahya Misr Order,\u201d to be bestowed on the victims of wars, terrorist attacks and security operations and their families.<\/p>\n
The double-layered order will be granted by the president to nominees approved by the prime minister. Civilian nominees will be sought by the minister of social solidarity, while nominees of the police and army will be picked by the ministers of interior and defense respectively.<\/p>\n
The new order consists of six stars; the first three are white, referring to the Egyptian revolutions in 1952, 2011 and 2013, while the next three stars are red, to refer to the country\u2019s wars in 1956, 1967 and 1973.<\/p>\n
The latest of these dates mark the June 30 revolution in 2013, when millions of Egyptians took to streets in massive demonstrations, calling for a regime change. Few days later, Sisi, then defense minister, announced ousting President Mohamed Morsi, meeting the revolution\u2019s top demand, by ending the Muslim Brotherhood’s year-long rule.<\/p>\n
Morsi, 67, died in June this year, from heart attack, according to preliminary medical assessment.<\/p>\n
