Egypt: curfew shortened by one hour | |
2011-02-08 | |
The curfew will now be in force from 8:00 pm (6:00 GMT) to 6:00 am (04:00 GMT), cons before 7:00 p.m., said the television. The curfew was imposed on January 28 in three major cities - Cairo, Alexandria (north) and Suez (east) - after violent anti-government riots calling for the resignation of geriatric President Hosni Mubarak. It did not stop the protesters to occupy night after night Tahrir Square in central Cairo. | |

#1 a declaration of curfew is worthless without the political will to fully enforce it. |
