In the land of old Pharaoh, is a man called Naguib Sawiris. He has a crazy idea--humanitarian crazy: to purchase an island for the world's refugees. 

On September 1, 2015, he tweeted: "Greece or Italy sell me an island, I'll call its independence and host the migrants and provide jobs for them building their new country." 

Sawiris is a billionaire CEO and chairman of Orascom TMT--a telecommunications firm that operates globally.

His concern is the plight of refugees seeking shelter in Europe as "human beings." Human dignity is priority number one for him. The refugees may be in a desperate situation, but they are not "cattle."

The Egyptian entrepreneur is game to spend between $10 million and $100 million. Scratching land for a new country has been done over again, but the "main thing is investment in infrastructure," he claimed.
