Aims to connect with youth of the country, Egypt's new military rulers have launched their own Facebook page targeted at the youth of the beleaguered country.
In the uprisings that ended the 30-year rule of Hosni Mubarak, it was largely the youth who used social networking sites to organize demonstrations.
Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites were reportedly blocked at the height of the revolt in which protestors took to the roads for months.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has dedicated the page "to the sons and youth of Egypt who ignited the January 25 revolution and to its martyrs," according to AFP.
The new page claims that it was formed by the head of the military council, Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who felt that "fruitful co-operation in the coming period with the honorable sons of Egypt would lead to stability and security."
The council has stressed that it had no political aspirations and was committed to a democratic transition to civilian rule.
