...those gringo feminists, are you?" the woman sitting at the AMNLAE office's reception desk asked suspiciously. Reyes hurried to explain her comrade's scorn. "Although we feel solidarity with European and North American feminists because machismo is a universal problem, we do not agree with their individualistic, capitalistic methods. They are separatists who do not work cooperatively with men as we do. I also question their sincerity-- we appreciate the telegrams of support sent to us after the revolution.

...beginning to give way. In June there were 68,000 foreign Arab visitors to Egypt, nearly twice as many as in the previous June; most were from Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government has not yet re-established relations with Egypt, but unofficial contacts are increasing. Sadat still sometimes heaps scorn on his erstwhile Arab brothers, but he has warned Egypt's newspapers not to make unnecessary attacks on the Saudis, and in recent weeks has directed most of his vitriol against Libyan Strongman Muammar Gaddafi and Syrian President Hafez Assad...
