The death of former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi is still surrounded by mysteries and devoid of details. Despite being the country’s first democratically elected president, the information was concealed by the local press in the notes on his death, in action that seems to be coordinated by the local government.
The same note containing 42 words was spread by most local media as if it were a chain of messengers. And that possibility was confirmed thanks to a gaffe of the presenter of the local newspaper Extra News.
At the end of reading the note on the teleprompter, you can hear the phrase “sent from a Samsung device”, which could mean that it was sent in bulk. The gaffe appeared on Twitter.
