It is happening again, this time in Aswan.
Clashes broke out on the Aswan Island in Upper Egypt as a mobile phone company tried to install signal tower on the island. The residents, believing this would endanger their health and safety, fought the company officials and threw the construction materials for the tower in the Nile River.
Police detained 11 from the island’s youth, but around 1000 residents showed up in front of the prosecutor demonstrating, forcing the government to release the detainees, stop the building of the tower on the island, in exchange for the residents compensating the company for the construction materials they threw in the river.
