Yusuf al-Sadiq and the July 23 Revolution
Yusuf Al-Siddiq is an Egyptian officer from Beni Suef who played a crucial role in the success of the July 23, 1952 Revolution. He was born in the village of Zawiyat Al-Masloub in 1910, graduated from the Military College in 1933, and participated in the 1948 Palestine War. He was one of the leaders of the Free Officers Organization, and his defining moment came when he moved with his troops an hour before the scheduled time, helping the revolutionaries seize control of the army leadership and arrest those loyal to the monarchy, which contributed significantly to the revolution's success. Afterwards, he demanded the return of democracy and faced imprisonment and house arrest until his death in 1975. In 2018, President Sisi awarded him the Nile Necklace Medal in recognition of his national role, and historians consider him one of the keys to the success of the July Revolution.
