However, in his latest novels, writer Mustafa Obeid showed another aspect of the political movement, that few people knew about before. It also narrates the rise of the terrorist and his assassination of important Arab politicians in Egypt and Syria. From her side, Egyptian journalist Suzanne Herfy, who was moderating the discussion, stated that the novel succeeded in drawing the thin line between national activism and terrorism, yet it better showed how political activism can turn into terrorism. She also praised the way Obeid portrayed the Egyptian-Syrian political scene in the period the novel was running through. The novel is the writer’s fourth political one, published by Kayan Publishing House.
