General Hassan el-Roweini, the commander of the Central Zone, is a familiar face. He showed up in Tahrir several times during the uprising, with the intent of suspending it. He accused us on the day of the Battle of Camel of “acting and that there were no martyrs killed by Mubarak’s thugs” as the army stood by watching. Each time Roweini appears on TV, prepare yourself for a doze of lies, propaganda and incitement against the revolution.
Interestingly, the general doesn’t hide the fact he’s a liar. In the interview above, he admits that during the uprising, he used to spread rumors in order to diffuse the anger of protesters in Tahrir.
This is the same general who now accuses the revolutionaries of being “foreign paid agents, thugs, traitors, saboteurs.” How can anyone believe this liar today?
