Cairo
The Beginning
The two young brothers didn't understand while on the river, that the encounter would impact their lives and ultimately that of all Egyptians.
Early Success
Selling homemade trinkets to cruise ship tourists returned more than expected.
Later Years
Years later, Moses, the older, became an influential London lawyer before rising up through the ranks of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. His approach was different, and the events of 2005 required it.
Family and Reunions
His brother, Abraham, had struck out for the US and had become a distinguished USC professor in conflict resolution. Their tumultuous Cairo reunion would be amidst hundreds of hostages, including the US Embassy staff, three U-20 international soccer teams, and enough explosives to blow up much of Cairo.
Historical Echoes
Ann Lawrence, political advisor at the embassy, was also there, as she had been 20 years earlier on that fateful river day.
