Despite warnings, that jumping on the April Fool's bandwagon would lead to an eternal hell as Muslims don't lie, many netizens across the Arab world, decided to use the day to criticise their governments.
From Saudi Arabia, Abdelrahman Al Kanhal jokes:
#كذبة_إبريل مشروعي الملك عبدالله لتطوير القضاء وتطوير التعليم
— عبدالرحمن الكنهل (@A_Alkanhal) April 1, 2014
King Abdulla adopts two new projects to develop the judiciary and education
And adds:
الدولة تتخذ قرار تاريخي باتخاذ مواقف جادة لوقف الفوضى المرورية #كذبة_إبريل
— عبدالرحمن الكنهل (@A_Alkanhal) April 1, 2014
The Kingdom takes serious measures to end traffic chaos
And in reference to the ban on women driving in the absolute monarchy, he writes:
#كذبة_إبريل المجتمع وحده يقرر حق المرأة في قيادة السيارة .. ولا نمنع قيادتها ولكننا نسجنها بسبب ارادة المجتمع الرافض
— عبدالرحمن الكنهل (@A_Alkanhal) April 1, 2014
Society itself decides on the right of women to drive. And we don't oppose women driving but send them to jail if they do because society refuses their driving
Meanwhile, Egyptian Adham Morad lies about the return of ousted Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi:
#كذبة_إبريل موورسي راجع ههههه
— adham morad (@adham_morad) April 1, 2014
Morsi is back!!
And, still in Egypt, Adilovic is in a wishful thinking state of mind. He tweets:
الحكومة المصرية تقرر رفع الأجور.. و زيادة الدعم.. و زيادة ميزانية التعليم والصحة.. وتوفير العيش والحرية والعداله الإجتماعيه #كذبة_إبريل
— Adilovic (@adilovic4a) April 1, 2014
The government of Egypt decides to increase wages, support state subsides, increase the budget for education and health services and provide Egyptians with a decent living, freedom and social justice
From Bahrain, Ammar Al Aradi, tweets a series of April Fool's jokes, which some people took seriously. He notes:
Ok apparently some ppl are taking my last few tweets too seriously. It's first of April. Let's stop before someone gets in trouble lol.

Among his jokes are:
#Kuwait considering legalizing hashish for medical uses after studies show more than 60% of the youth in the country already use it.

Back to Saudi Arabia, Ahmed Al Maani concludes:
سيكون هذا الأمر مرهقاً للعرب لأنه لا يوجد شيء غير اعتيادي يمارسونه في هذا الشهر.. #كذبة_إبريل
— احمد المعني (@rhal84) April 1, 2014
April Fool's will be exhausting for Arabs as it isn't something they don't do
