Cruel Irony: Egypts Morsi Announces Protester Crackdown Over Twitter

ikjnnlqzetcf2xb5zb2nIn an ironic twist of fate, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has threatened military force against thousands of student protesters through one of the very mediums used to liberate the country in 2011: Twitter. "Security forces will deal with the utmost decisiveness to law enforcement and the protection of state enterprises," tweeted the official account, through a string of 1984-ish updates. "Presidency confirms that these destructive practices that have nothing to do with the principles of the revolution and not to any illegal practices in the peaceful expression." (Google Chrome translation from Arabic).
