Yusuf Sibai

Although many critics avoid referring to his work as the end of the Romantic Era in Egyptian literature, as it touches upon the needs of a specific age group of young readers.

In addition, Abdel Karim says that his role in the Egyptian culture is of no less importance than his role as a writer and refers to the description of the late Egyptian critic Muhammad Mandur that Sibai "is not a writer who isolates himself in an ivory tower, but a man who goes to markets and walks through alleys and streets".

Nowadays, the mention of his name is only limited to the film adaptations of his work, including "I'm going away", "Give Back My Heart", "In the ruins", "We Do Not Sow Thorns", "The Land of Hypocrisy" and "Al Saghamat".

The Egyptian Television also produced a TV series about his life entitled Fares Ar-Romancia "The Romantic Knight".

This murderous event had a negative effect on the Egyptian – Cypriot relations and forced Egypt to cut ties with Cyprus, particularly after an Egyptian special military unit landed at Larnaca International Airport to arrest the assassins without informing the Cypriot authorities.

After the assassination, the two murderers took about thirty hostages of the members of the delegations participating in the Solidarity Conference and imprisoned them in the hotel cafeteria.
