Abstract
A great number of studies have been made about Egypt and its late leader Gamal Abd el-Nasser. However” !’!lOst of these studies have concentrated on Egypt’s relationship with the Arab world. Very few attempts have been made to e~e an:! analy’Ze Egypt’s relations with Africa as a whole. None have indicated the role” attitude and efforts of Egypt; towards the problems of de colonization and apartheid within the United Nations as I have done here. The study is in three plrts and conclusions. Part I deals with the general frame of reference and the historicaJ. iznpetus and in- cllnation of Egypt’s African contacts since ancient times. It ~s the dominant factors which existed in the Egyptian society” and thetrends of reforming the society politically” the nationalist movement” and the emergence of Egyptian foreign policy and Nasser as a policy- maker. Part II explores the crystallization of Egypt’s African policy” .Egypt’s participation, role and efforts in the varioU: .AfriCan groupings urrtil the creation of the Organization ?f African Unity. It focuses on the objectives, goals and methods for applying that policy. Part ill tests Egypt’s policy of anti-eoloni ali srnas manifested in the United Na.tions to’WaI’d.3 the problems of decolonization and the policy of aparl.-heid using the cases of Southern Rhodesia and South Africa as an illus- tration.
