Question: What if Anwar Sadat had not been assassinated?
SUMMARY
Anwar El Sadat was the third President of Egypt, serving from 15 October 1970 until his assassination by fundamentalist army officers on 6 October 1981. In his eleven years as president, he departed Egypt from some of the economic and political principles of Nasserism by re-instituting the multi-party system and launching the Infitah economic policy.
