Egyptian Army apologizes on Facebook for last night’s use of (non-lethal) force

February 26, 2011

It’s surreal that it’s on Facebook, surreal that they even have a Facebook page, and surreal (though understandable) that they feel the need to apologize to the public for such things now:

“The military has posted an apology on its official Facebook page stating that harassments practiced against activists by military police was unintentional and that no orders were given to attack any Egyptian national. The military also confirmed the release of all those detained during those incidents.”

However, there has been no apology for the sorts of things that still bother the protestors, and those issues are not going to vanish.
