A Journey of Struggle Crowned with an Honorary Doctorate: The Path of Ezzat El Gamal Between Challenges and International Recognition

A journey of struggle crowned with an honorary doctorate, in a career full of challenges. Despite the restrictions imposed by some countries lacking even the simplest forms of democracy, Dr. Ezzat El Gamal proved that the free word can break all barriers, and that honest journalism remains a powerful tool for change and raising awareness.

As achievements never go unnoticed, Delfford University honored him with an honorary doctorate in journalism and media, recognizing his long-standing career and significant contributions in serving society and defending humanitarian causes.

For years, Dr. Ezzat El Gamal has carried the concerns of the Arab world and Africa, speaking boldly about freedom and justice, courageously defending human rights, rejecting all forms of violence and extremism, and believing that true media must be the voice of the people and a mirror of their struggles.

This scientific recognition came in parallel with another distinction from the French League for the Defense of Human and Civil Rights, which awarded him this year a Medal of Honor in recognition of his humanitarian stances and contributions to defending fundamental rights, especially in light of international issues related to human rights violations, most notably the tragedy of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

These multiple honors are not just titles added to his career, but a recognition of a lifetime filled with work, thought, and commitment. They are also a message to everyone who has chosen the path of honesty and integrity that their voice will never be lost, no matter the obstacles.

In his speech after receiving the honorary doctorate, Dr. Ezzat El Gamal affirmed that these honors are not a recognition of his person alone, but a tribute to every free voice that refuses surrender, to every pen that believes in the power of words as a tool for change, and to everyone who dedicates their life to serving the causes of their nations and peoples.

It is a new milestone in a career rich with dedication, and a stronger motivation to continue the intellectual and media struggle for a more just, dignified, and humane Arab and African world.
