"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".

'All the rest – forgive me – are tribes with flags'.

  • «El resto son tribus con banderas» o simplemente, «tribus con banderas» es una frase atribuida al diplomático egipcio (1925-2002) que para referirse al papel protagonista de Egipto dentro del Medio Oriente, opinó: «Egipto es el único estado-nación en el mundo árabe, el resto son solo tribus con banderas».​ Otra versión de la frase es: «Cuando las cosas están complicadas, solo hay un lugar real en toda el área: Egipto», declaró una vez un diplomático de El Cairo. «Todo lo demás, perdóname, son tribus con banderas».​ En 1990 Charles Glass publicó el libro Tribes With Flags: A Dangerous Passage Through the Chaos of the Middle East, cuyo título se basa en esta cita. Dos años más tarde publicó otro libro basado en la misma cita: Tribes With Flags: A Journey Curtailed. (es)
