A master’s thesis by student Amer Gebreet Ibrahim entitled “Egyptian Foreign Policy Orientations towards African Countries since 2013: Selected Models” was discussed at the Faculty of Political Science at Al-Nahrain University.

The importance of the study lies in the process of tracking the Egyptian orientation towards the African continent since 2013, due to the natural resources that the African continent enjoys and its strategic geographic location, in addition to Egypt’s vital interests, which impose its interest in the African continent. In a way that keeps Egypt away from any form of security threats to its lands and water security, as well as economic, political, security and military benefits.
