Hearts and minds, Egyptian style, on the troubled border with Gaza.
[AlAhram] Life return to normal in North Sinai's Sheikh Zuweid two years after the launch of Comprehensive Operation Sinai (COS) 2018, the largest ever campaign to eradicate terrorism from the peninsula."Everything is so much easier now," Sheikh Abdallah A-Ruweishan told us as we passed through the streets of Sheikh Zuweid. "Life is not just returning to normal, it’s going to be better than it was. We passed through very hard times when security collapsed in 2011. Life came to a halt."
Two years have passed since al-Ahram Weekly’s first visit to the area following the launch of Comprehensive Operation Sinai (COS) 2018, the largest ever campaign to eradicate terrorism from the peninsula.
