Mohamed A. Moustafa (asker) Mar 13, 2012:
Thank you, dear colleagues, for your input. The writer wanted to say, to the best of my understanding, that Egyptians, according to him, are a bridge or an archway over which others pass to the other side to attain their aspired goals, and this meaning encompasses all Egyptian citizens (70 million in number), each of them indicates another relevant meaning of exploitation, oppression, etc.

Dear Muhammad, with due respect, the text you are dealing with is Egyptian, and you are the best one to know. You could say "intention". I hope this will help you.
Note from asker:
Thanks. I really know this meaning, but I wonder if this word has a metaphorical meaning, since it has been mentioned twice to supposeldy indicate a different meaning than the first occurance.
