Egypt: curfew shortened by one hour
2011-02-08
We're gonna party now!
[Ennahar] Egyptian authorities have further reduced the duration of the curfew in force in three major cities including Cairo, giving an extra hour of freedom of movement for their citizens, said Monday on state television.

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.
