Thursday, 5 October paid day off for public sector on anniversary of October War victory
2023-09-29
[AlAhram] Egypt’s Cabinet announced that Thursday, 5 October 2023 will be a paid holiday for public sector employees to celebrate Armed Forces Day, which commemorates the victory of the 6 October 1973 War.
Up is down, left is right, and a decisive defeat is a win in the Yom Kippur War.

#4  Always figured the big deal, psychologically, was... this...

Although in the end not victorious,
The 6th must be marked, ever-glorious,
When we stood up and fought
For a while, then did not...
But our forces let loose
On those miserable Juice
With a stream most sublimely micturious!
