Former Egyptian foreign minister dies at 74

The death of former Egyptian foreign minister Muhammad Ibrahim Kamel was announced on Thursday at 74.

Sources at the Egyptian foreign ministry said that Kamel who was born on January 7th, 1927 died following a long struggle with disease.

In 1978 Kamel expressed his opposition to the Camp David agreement by submitting his resignation on the wake of signing the Camp David accord.

Kamel wrote in his book " the lost peace in Camp David agreement," issued in Cairo by the beginning of the 1980 s that what Sadat had accepted was too far from leading to just and comprehensive peace and the inspired stability in the Middle east. Kamel also published another book under the title " Sunday evening, September 17 the agreement was signed and then the earthquakes continued on the Arab world." Following the revolution of the " liberal army officers" revolution in 1953 in Egypt, Kamel was appointed as member at the revolution's council in 1953. He joined the diplomatic corp in 1955 and had been Egypt's ambassador for Germany, Sweden and Congo.
