Vodafone is facing a backlash in Egypt over an advert suggesting it helped inspire this year's revolution in the country.
- The three-minute commercial featured excerpts from a Vodafone ad campaign entitled Our Power, which was launched three weeks before an anti-government uprising swept the country. The video goes on to show images from protest rallies in Cairo's Tahrir Square before claiming: "We didn't send people to the streets, we didn't start the revolution ’Ķ We only reminded Egyptians how powerful they are."
