Close links with bedouins and smugglers in the Sinai, an impoverished area long neglected by the central government, help them avoid capture. The militants are scattered around a desert and mountain landscape they have mastered. While the army-installed government has driven the Brotherhood underground, it is struggling to cope with the militants in the Sinai, despite repeated army offensives. It said 32 South Koreans were on the bus and that the tourists were Christians from the same church in South Korea. South Korea’s Foreign Ministry confirmed the two deaths of two of its nationals and said nine people had been wounded. Sisi, who is expected to announce his candidacy for the presidency soon, had hoped a political road map unveiled after Mursi’s overthrow would stabilise Egypt, which has a peace treaty with Israel and controls the Suez Canal, a busy world shipping channel on the Sinai’s western edge. Egypt’s vital tourism industry has already been hit hard by three years of political turmoil and street protests. If militants were behind Sunday’s bombing, it would mark a shift in strategy to attacking “softer” tourist and economic targets. Will be great for the hot summer weather.Al Qaeda-inspired Islamist militants based in the largely lawless Sinai peninsula have stepped up attacks on security forces since army chief Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ousted Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July after mass protests against his rule.

Also good looking and of substantial material- not a cheap product. It is very well made and very comfortable. Besides that, you won’t find authentic reproduction hats of such military grade. Only reason for the 4 stars is the long shipping time that was remedied after contacting a competent employee to address the delays. The hat is of excellent quality for a reproduction that could pass for its authentic build. Posted by Charles Sherrill on Jul 4th 2021 The description saying “the hat wears well like a used pair of your favorite blue jeans” is 100% accurate. You will need to get it wet to get rid of the packing/shipping creases and shape the crown the way you want. And if you need the chin strap, who cares how you look. If you really need a chin strap, adjust the size by pulling in the loops. Then throw it over your hat to the back and forget about it.

Pull the ears a tada!, the chin strap adjusts to any size. Turns out that you make 2 bunny ears with the strap and feed each ear into each of the canvas loops. I had to do some research on how they worked. In this case, it’s old school with 2 little canvas “collars” that are unattached. No leather or plastic piece to help adjust the strap.

The chin strap adjustments threw me a bit. Expect a “Jungle Green”, not a dark “Army Green”. The color is a bit lighter than expected, but in all honestly, it does match the website photo. It is highly recommended for collectors and outdoors peopleįirst off, the sizing was perfect. Posted by Nicholas Green on Dec 16th 2021įits perfectly and works well outside. Much better sun protection than a cap an better looking.
