CSFs of Egypt..


Since the time I had been studying and working in Egypt, the Central Security Forces (CSF) were the subject of jokes for their naivety, lower-IQ and extreme obedience.. A cousin of mine; who was a trainer for them, had told me on how brutal the training course was.. Another police officer had described the animal-alike; their treatment was..

In the streets; they were always a typical scene with their ugly black uniform, long serving hours, and their sparking eyes of humiliated humanity, wondering of urban and extreme simple brains, were never missed, nor concerned by any other..!!

During the recent angry youth-revolt in Egypt; CSF were the spearhead to confront and control the protest.. Their defeat by those enthusiastic educated youth, exercising new tactics of move-around protests, had tired CSF, and severely demoralized them.. Once they had been pulled away, and stayed at the barracks; looters and criminals had flooded all Egyptian cities.. The people wonder where those simple illiterate peasants had gone..!!

"The second CSF rebellion came in December 2008 during Israel’s Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, when many CSF recruits refused to patrol the Rafah Crossing between Sinai and Gaza and instead wanted to invade Gaza to defend the territory against the Israel Defense Forces..."
