And 4106 copies of my report for 1904 were sold and distributed free, of which 4800 were in Arabic, 4442 in English, and 918 in French. As for my report for 1905, 11,500 copies were sold and distributed, of which 5,500 were in Arabic, 5,175 in English, and 8,250 in French. The translation and distribution of my Arabic reports are of great importance to me, as I hope they will be a kind of antidote to the poison of promoting falsehoods over truth, which is being spread throughout the country through the Arabic press. What many of these newspapers present as established facts is often devoid of truth and not without manipulation and distortion. What is extracted from these alleged facts usually leads to corrupt outcomes. Indeed, what is published in these newspapers does not affect the course of British policy in the slightest, nor does it concern the wise, the guilty, or those who are aware of the facts of the matter, whether Europeans or nationalists. But what I am narrating is not only for them, but also for all those who, for whatever reason, do not have access to the truth of matters, especially the common Egyptians. They will find a way to know the truth about the current situation in Egypt. In this situation, there is nothing that requires concealment or is intended to be hidden. It is undeniable that despite the sure progress Egypt has made in recent years, its government and administration still have shortcomings and defects, some inherited from the past era and some from the present era. It can be said that the rapid progress of the country has been accompanied by a bad reputation after the reforms that have taken place in the past twenty-five years. Some of these shortcomings – and they are many – can only be remedied by following a thorough and legislative system that conforms to the current needs of the country. And there are those among the people who are more aware of the existence of these shortcomings, and I have no intention whatsoever of hiding them or downplaying them. But people are often ignorant of the reality of their situation and resort to remedies that are ineffective or cannot address them. I do not advocate any method other than one that is acceptable and clear in correcting errors in understanding the facts and in combating corrupt and misleading opinions, which is to publish the facts as they are, present true evidence, and elaborate on sound arguments. This is what I strive for in these reports, hoping that people will become more aware of the facts of Egypt and understand the challenges ahead. If it becomes clear to me that this is better and more beneficial for the Egyptian government, regardless of their differences in responsibility, then it may be open to disagreement and discussion. But I have made every effort to avoid any statement that does not conform to reality and any error in reporting the facts. If the people of Egypt wish to know the truth about their country's affairs, I advise them to read this report.
