| Description |
Residents of the governorates of Qena, Aswan and Al-Sharqeya blocked railways and roads on Sunday morning in protest over the fuel shortage. Groups in Zagazig, Al-Sharqeya, also blocked the railroad for some hours. Yasser Al-Refa'ei, a Revolutionary Youth Coalition representative in Al-Sharqeya, said the groups resolved the blockage after negotiations with governmental officials. Two families quarrelled over their places in a long queue at a gas station, which then escalated into violent fighting. Both families used weapons, leaving two people dead and five others injured. |
