Tribes with Flags : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tribes with Flags "Tribes With Flags" is part of a phrase attributed to Tahseen Bashir, an Egyptian diplomat (April 1925 - June 11, 2002). Regarding his belief in the centrality of Egypt within the Middle East he opined: "Egypt is the only nation-state in the Arab world; the rest are just tribes with flags".〔"Tahseen Bashir, Urbane Egyptian Diplomat, Dies at 77" , Neil MacFarquhar, ''The New York Times'' newspaper, June 14, 2002.〕 Another version of Mr. Bashir’s ‘flag’ quip is: " 'When the chips are down, there is only one real place in the entire area – Egypt,' a Cairo diplomat once declared. 'All the rest – forgive me – are tribes with flags.' "〔''Baghdad Without A Map'' (Jan. 1992) by Tony Horwitz, p. 51.〕 Two book title take-offs on this quote are ''Tribes With Flags: A Dangerous Passage Through the Chaos of the Middle East'' (Apr. 1990) and ''Tribes With Flags: A Journey Curtailed'' (1992), both by Charles Glass. ==References==
