Not exactly entertainment......quite disturbing actually.

A documentary about suspicious deaths of CSF conscripts in Egypt.

CSF (Central Security Forces) is largely comprised of poor, uneducated boys doing their national service. Many are from upper Egypt....in fact one of the cases examined concerns a young man from Gourna.

Shown on BBCWorld today at 06.10, 17.10 & 11.10 Egypt local time.

I watched this this morning, not very informative with only one sides presumed explanations give. Which is nothing new. And not very currant with only one case from 2015. I think that every one on the planet knows about the goings on here, but no one knows the real truth except the perpetrators.

Given that CSF and the Ministry of Interior repeatedly declined to comment how could it be other than from one side!!

It's amazing they got as much information as they did.

There won't be any in the future as all such incidents will be dealt with internally, by the military, in secret.
