South Africa under President Nelson Mandela illustrated the upside of channeling popular sentiment away from retribution toward national renewal. While no single Egyptian leader can credibly convey Mandela’s message of “forgive but don’t forget,” together – working collaboratively and cooperatively – they can help to shift the country’s focus from the rear-view mirror to the road ahead.
总统纳尔逊·曼德拉(Nelson Mandela)领导下的南非显示了引导大众情绪远离复仇走向国家复兴的积极一面。然而没有一个埃及领导可以可靠地传递曼德拉的信息“原谅但不要忘记”，并一起协同合作——他们能有助于把国家的重点从过去转移到眼前的道路上。
