July 13 Revolution

East Benha - Associated Bress

Organized celebrations
Authorities today decreed July 13 "Half-way Revolution Day". When asked to explain the reason for the new holiday, General Afifi explained that given the downtime between the July 3 and July 23 celebrations, it made sense to bridge the gap with another mid-way commemoration of the country's "Arab Summer" democratic-military takeovers. Moreover, he noted the leadership views the citizenry as so lazy and useless, that giving them another day off would avoid the need to turn on air conditioning in ministry buildings on a hot day.

Officials have warned that they will aggressively enforce the anti-terrorism decree banning any "excessive behavior" on Half-way Revolution Day, including, without limitation, walking too quickly.
