  • "Kazeboon" (also spelled "Kazabun"), which means "liars" in Arabic, is a public-awareness and alternative media campaign in Egypt critical of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), the current governing power. The Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), has taken over from President Hosni Mubarak a year ago, and was said to transfer power to a civilian administration. Started in the late 2011, the campaign was launched by a group of young people in Egypt to circulate information about the military’s “lies.” They used grassroots media tools, such as screening of videos, marches, and social media to make citizens aware of the criminal activity committed by the military. The Kazeboon campaign consists of film screenings held in public spaces, characteristically done by projecting video clips against building walls. The video clips depict actions taken by Egyptian military personnel against civilians since SCAF took power in February 2011 following Hosni Mubarak's resignation in an effort to counter the narrative portrayed by state media. The goal of Kazeboon is to “remove the military from power” and “get Tahrir Square out of Tahrir Square and into every neighbourhood." Because the Kazeboon campaign has no dedicated coordinators or organizational hierarchy, it is hard to calculate how many screenings have taken place. According to the estimation of some Egyptian activists, dozens of Kazeboon screenings happen across the country every day. (en)
