Text Message from Armed Forces

Posted on the 23 February 2011 by Warigia @WarigiaBowman
I received two text messages from the Armed Forces today. The first was at 11:15 a.m. and the second was at 2:20. Here is the translation provided by my office manager. We do not know what these text messages are referring to, although they are clearly meant to intimidate.
"From the Supreme Council for the Armed Forces: the dignified civilians must be responsible and prevent the actions of irresponsible people and organizations"
"The Armed Forces will not allow any illegitimate action due to its risk in the time being for our country. We will take the necessary legal action to stop it."

My Egyptian friend pointed out that she does not believe these messages are supposed to be intimidating. She thinks the texts are a way of reaching out to the Egyptian Youth. She also believes the texts are supposed to promote beneficial behaviors. She mentioned that the Armed Forces has created a facebook page. I must look for that.

Here is some more information on the facebook page of the Egyptian Armed Forces. Here is a link to the official page. http://www.facebook.com/Egyptian.Armed.Forces. I commend the Egyptian Armed Forces for reaching out to the youth.
