You know, Maggief, I was more serious than joking.

Sadat once ordered bearded people loitering downtown Cairo to be arrested, their beards shaved, their heads shaved for good measure and released.

They said they vanished in two days...true story.

No wonder they assassinated him, may God bless his soul.

22:00 The interior ministry has released a statement upholding the army’s announcement. The statement says that the army’s roadmap fulfills “the people’s will and their interests” and stressed that the police stand by the armed forces in efforts to achieve the country’s security and stability.

There has clearly been a lot of coordination between the military and the police over recent days, as shown in supportive statements like these.

21:55 The Islamist-run television channels that were taken off air were apparently also evacuated by police, reports Ahram Arabic.

Police forces went to the Media Production City in Cairo’s 6 October satellite city, where the offices and studios of these channels are located, and evacuated them. The police also arrested some of the staff working for these channels.

21:52 Mohamed Morsi has announced on the official Facebook page of the presidency that the announcement made by the armed forces is a coup and that he rejects it. He said that as president and head of the armed forces he calls on all civil and military citizens to abide by constitution and law and not respond to the coup.
