The UAE has denied detaining Lt-General Ahmed Shafiq or preventing him from flying back home. The UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Anwar Mohammad Gargash in a tweet on Wednesday said: "The United Arab Emirates is so sorry that Lt-Gen Ahmed Shafiq showed no gratitude to all the facilities provided for him after he escaped to the UAE following the announcement of the presidential elections of Egypt in 2012. We have generously hosted him despite our utter objection to some of his stances."
He added that: "The UAE has always observed to the values of hospitality and care in its treatment (with Shafiq) in love for Egypt and the Egyptian people whom we love and appreciate. The UAE affirms that there is nothing that deters Shafiq from leaving the country."
