Will the Egyptian government do like the British government and issue a warning about #Sinai !? "Updated"

I am tired for the daily news coming from Sinai that proves by all measures that the bad guys got an upper hand in the North. I am tired from the constant operations against security forces and the constant abduction targeting the locals. I want President Morsi to address the nation sincerely if he really fears God about the truth of what is happening in Sinai.
