E-WAR

Osama Heikal, Minister of State for Information, Egypt, and Amjad Awda Al Adayleh, Minister of State for Information Affairs and official spokesman for the Jordanian government agreed that the Arab states are currently engaged in a “fierce” electronic war, which necessitates cooperation and communication between governments and peoples.

The Egyptian Minister stressed that the Arab countries are now facing the danger of “electronic armies” that aim to destabilise countries, praising, in this regard, the role of the International Government Communication Forum (IGCF) in setting perceptions and methods to explore ways to deal with modern media.

In an exclusive statement to “Sharjah 24”, Heika said that governments should know how to influence and communicate their views to people differently in light of the challenges facing government communication, as states deal with different groups of young people, who draw their information from different sources, some of which are correct while the others are mere rumors; therefore, we are at war with modern media.
