SUCCESSES OF NASSER’S FOREIGN POLICIES


THE FOLLOWING ARE THE ACHIEVEMENT OF NASSER'S FOREIGN POLICY

  • Nasser successfully sent expatriates to African countries to help fill the man power gap after the departure of colonial masters. These expatriates included teachers, engineers, and doctors, for example in Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia.

  • Nasser promoted the use of African languages on the continent. This included Kiswahili, Arabic, Amhara, Hausa among others hence easing communication.

  • Nasser succeeded in destabilizing the state of Israel. This was done through sponsoring the fierce fadeyeen commandos who destroyed the state of Televiv and bombarded areas in the country.

  • Nasser succeeded in providing scholarships to African students. The African nationalists from Algeria, Congo Zaire and other Arab states were allowed to study from Egyptian universities i.e. Cairo and Alexandria. This helped to create a class of elites to destroy the colonial bondage in Africa.

  • Gamel Nasser provided propaganda support to African nationalists. Nasser gave moral, military and financial support to FLN of Algeria, the mau mau of Kenya leading to independence.

  • Nasser influenced the over flow of pro – western leaders in Africa and Middle East. This included the over throw of King Idris of Libya by Muammar Gaddafi, the prime minister of Iraq.

  • Gamel Nasser gave moral and diplomatic support to Tunisia and Morocco against the French rule which led to the twin independence of these countries in 1956.

  • Nasser fully supported and promoted Pan Arabism. It is on record that Nasser made Egypt to be the headquarters of the Arab League and proceeded to establish the United Arab Republic i.e. Egypt and Syria in 1958.

  • Gamel Nasser was one of the founder members of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963. This was done through the reconciliation of the Casablanca and Monrovia groupings leading to the total unity of Africans.

  • Nasser succeeded in promoting the Non – Aligned Movement (NAM) adopted in 1955 in Bandung. This was a conference organized by the Asian leaders i.e. Nehru of India and Surkano of Indonesia. The policy promoted positive neutrality in Africa and Afro – Asian Solidarity.

  • Nasser promoted research in the African past. He encouraged the writing and the reconstruction of African history leading to the promotion of African cultural values.

  • Nasser bridged the gap between the Arab North and Negro Africans. This changed the attitude of the blacks towards the Arabs hence a success.
