On 25 February 1986, around 25,000conscripts of theCentral Security Forces (CSF), aparamilitary force inEgypt, launched amutiny inCairo and the surrounding area. They staged violent protests as a reaction to the rumour that their three-year compulsory service would be prolonged by one additional year without any additional benefits or promotion inrank, targeting tourist areas, theUnited States Embassy Compound, and destroying two hotels.

The regime ofHosni Mubarak relied on theEgyptian Armed Forces to crush the ill-equipped CSF mutineers, and the military was sent in to restore order.^[1] TheEgyptian Army deployedtanks,armoured personnel carriers and commando snipers against the rebelling conscripts, most of whom were unarmed or armed only withshields,batons, andassault rifles. TheEgyptian Air Force andArmy Aviation usedMil Mi-8 helicopters andMig-21 fighter jets to attack the rebelling conscripts nearGiza and inUpper Egypt. At least four to five helicopters, and three fighter jets, were used in the operation. The Air Force officer in command of the operation wasAhmed Shafik, as commander of all MiG-21 fleets in the Central Military Zone. The riot lasted for three days before it was suppressed.

According to official reports, the mutiny resulted in 107 deaths, mostly CSF personnel, with 1324 arrested.^[2] Over 20,000 conscripts were dismissed from service with no benefits, and the agitators receivedcorrectional punishment after being tried beforeState Security Court forarson,violent riots, andinsubordination according topenal code. Some reports related that mutiny to a conspiracy against theMinister of Interior in charge by then,Ahmed Rushdi, due to his policies. The Mubarak government promised to overhaul the CSF by raising its entry standards, increasing payment and improving living conditions in their camps.^[3]
