Amr Moussa

Amr Moussa (born 3 October 1936) is an Egyptian diplomat and politician: ambassador to the United Nations, foreign minister of Egypt for ten years (1991–2001), and sixth Secretary-General of the Arab League (2001–2011). After the 2011 revolution he stood in the 2012 presidential election and chaired the Committee of Fifty that amended Egypt's constitution in 2013. There is no Urdu Wikipedia article about him; this museum's Urdu page is written from the English and Arabic articles. ^{1 2}

He was born in Cairo on 3 October 1936; the Arabic article adds that he spent his first two years in Cairo before the family moved to the countryside in Gharbia. He studied law at Cairo University and entered the foreign service, rising through postings that included ambassador to India and, from 1990, Egypt's permanent representative to the United Nations in New York. ^{1 2}

On 20 May 1991 he succeeded Ahmed Asmat Abdel-Meguid as foreign minister, holding the post under three prime ministers until 15 May 2001. He then succeeded Abdel-Meguid a second time, as Secretary-General of the Arab League, on 1 June 2001. His decade at the League covered the Iraq war and its aftermath and the first months of the 2011 Arab uprisings; he handed over to Nabil Elaraby on 1 July 2011. ¹

He stood in the presidential election of 2012, the first after Hosni Mubarak's fall. In 2013 he was elected president of the Committee of Fifty charged with amending the constitution. In later years he has worked from his office in Cairo, chairing the board of trustees of Nile University and serving on African and international bodies, as the Arabic article describes. ^{1 2}

Neither article's text names any religion for him, and the Arabic article's infobox carries a religion field that is left blank. The only attestation anywhere is a single structured value on his Wikidata item, Islam in general. Under this museum's rule — one structured value never attests a faith — his faith is recorded as unknown, and the reading is preserved in his data record for the founder's ruling. ^{3 2}
