“The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces decided to accept the resignation of Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq and appointed Essam Sharaf to form the new government,” the army said in a statement on its Facebook page.

Quite clever of the Armed forces to use Facebook as its primary mode of communication. I wonder what this is supposed to mean.
