The Egyptian government is embarking on a new LE37 million scheme, according to the daily Shorouk, to install CCTV cameras in the underground metro stations to monitor passengers and metro workers alike. I wish this money was instead allocated to the metro workers who’ve gone repeatedly on strike since 2007 over work conditions and benefits.

Moreover, Shorouk reports, CCTV cameras will be installed in the streets around the Cairo Stadium.
