Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El Sisi greeted the family of martyr Colonel Rami Ali Ahmed Hilal during the celebration marking the 74th anniversary of Police Day in a deeply human gesture filled with affection, fatherly warmth and heartfelt support.
The late officer left a family consisting of three daughters, a son and a devoted wife who has continued to care for them since his death in 2019.
During the Police Day celebration, held on Saturday at the Police Academy in New Cairo, a documentary film was screened highlighting Sisi’s honoring of the fallen hero’s family in 2020. The film showed the late officer’s young son, Ali, holding the president’s hand during that ceremony.
The martyr’s family greeted the president, who was keen to take a commemorative photo with them. He expressed his profound love, appreciation, respect and continued support, urging the family to remain in constant contact.
President Sisi also voiced his appreciation for the martyr’s wife and children, expressing pride in them and in Ali’s strong desire to follow in his father’s footsteps by joining the police force to serve the nation.
Hilal was a very important part of Egypt’s security efforts in some of the most dangerous and sensitive cases.
He played a key role in pursuing those involved in the assassination of former Public Prosecutor Hesham Barakat, as well as attempts to assassinate former Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim and Counselor Zakaria Abdel Aziz.
