Egypt's cabinet reduces curfew hours in North Sinai's Al-Arish city | |
2015-08-13 | |
[AlAhram] Egypt's cabinet decided on Wednesday to limit curfew hours in Al-Arish, the capital of the restive North Sinai, to four hours from 1am to 5am, MENA state news agency reported.
The decrease in curfew hours applies only to Al-Arish. Since October 2014, the Egyptian government extended the curfew in Al-Arish and neighouring areas for three more months twice. Locals have long expressed discomfort with the length of curfew hours complaining of the difficulties of living under an 11-hour shut-down for months at a time. | |
