The people of Luxor were surprised by the spread of a shocking video on “YouTube” showing an Egyptian youth from the village of Al -Mars, Mohamed Radwan Al -Senussi, with Utiper Ukrainian named Dimitri Carbinko, who documents the stories of the Russian prisoners arrested in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
But the surprise was that this time the prisoner is not a Russian, but the son of their town who turned from a student who dreams of studying tourism to a mercenary in the Russian army!
From the shortest to Ukraine … a story that turned from hope to the tragedy of the family’s silence and the collapse of hope
“Cairo 24” tried to communicate with the family of Muhammad, but they categorically refused to talk, drowning in a state of collapse and shock that those close to those who are close to “as if they were in a orphan.”
After his news was interrupted for a year, they discovered that he was fighting with the Russians before falling as a prisoner in the hands of the Ukrainians.
A neighbor said to “Cairo 24”: “Mohamed, 22, who holds a hotel secondary school, and has a younger brother named Mahmoud in the high school, and his father works in Saudi Arabia.”
The dream of tourism is shattered in Russia
The story started two years ago, when Muhammad persuaded his father to travel to Russia to study, as acceptance is not required for a high academic group.
He dreamed of studying tourism and hotels, but soon faced financial difficulties. “The university’s expenses were exorbitant, so he worked as a ‘Delvry’ to cover his expenses, according to the neighbor.
Alaa Abdel -Hadi said in a post on his Facebook page: Muhammad Radwan Senussi was a student in the hotel secondary school in Luxor, and he concluded and went to Russia, and almost was a need for a relationship with engineering, and he was a very respectable and very sophisticated student, and what I remember is from Al -Mars, west of Luxor, but it was Almost Saudi Arabia, the face of Egypt after the primary or preparatory stage, if the memory is deleted, and the financial people are financially resting because his father works In Saudi Arabia and almost so far, I don’t know frankness, it is a job like this and what motives?
But our Lord dismantles his distress and guides our youth.
Russian trap: from nationality to the forehead
Mohamed received an attractive offer from the Russian government: nationality, monthly salary, and financial reward for military service.
According to the 2022 Russian Military Service Act, Muhammad Al -Nakkam signed thinking that he was just training, to suddenly find himself on the front in Ukraine, fighting as a mercenary in favor of Russia!
Shocking end: I am walking without identity
Muhammad disappeared for a while, and Russia considered him among the dead, but he appeared again as a prisoner of war in Ukraine in an influential video, in which he spoke with his mother by calling a video with the help of another Egyptian translator imprisoned there.
But the biggest tragedy is that he lost his Egyptian nationality after obtaining Russian citizenship, which means that even if he is freed, he will not be able to return to Egypt!
Urgent warning for Egyptian youth
The story of Muhammad is not an exception! Many Egyptians traveled to Russia to study, work or marry, to find themselves attracted to the Russian army, and they ended up in the war without return.
Will this story be a lesson for those looking for distant dreams without calculating the risks?
