General Hassan el-Roweini in Tahrir Square on 5 February, arrogantly talking to protesters and journalists, during his attempt to disperse the sit-in.

SCAF, you’d have made Goebbels proud!
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?
٥ فبراير: قائد المنطقة المركزية اللواء حسن الرويني يصف الاعتصام بالتمثيلية وينفي وجود شهداء أو مصابين يوم موقعة الجمل ويحاول فض الاعتصام
General Hassan el-Roweini, head of the army’s Central Zone Command, showed up in Tahrir on 5 February, trying to convince the protesters of suspending the sit-in, following the “Battle of the Camel”, when Mubarak’s thugs descended on Tahrir to slaughter us under the watchful “neutral” eye of the army. In the video above, General el-Roweini describes the Tahrir occupation as a “soap opera” and denies knowledge of any protesters killed by the thugs.
The brave doctors in the makeshift clinic responded back to his allegations, and refused to go away. I don’t know who’s “Doctor Sherif” who appears in the video, but I salute his bravery.
