A woman was killed and another injured in the southern city of Qena after they stood in the way of a bulldozer that was demolishing a home built without a permit, a security official said on Monday.
The two women, whose family had moved onto the land and built a home there, were protesting against the demolition, which followed a court order. It was not clear whether the two women were inside the house or standing by the fence surrounding the house.
The local NDP officials in Alexandria tried to hold ‘Azaa (mourning) for the victims of last Wednesday’s building collapse. Relatives of the victims could be seen, in a video, in a verbal fight with the NDP men, with one shouting: “Get a ladder, and bring this fucking (NDP) banner down!”
Later, Alexandria’s Governor (and former SS General) Adel Labib showed up, only to be chased away by the citizens.
Twelve dead in a building collapse, while fires continue.
And after blaming the surrounding poor slum residents, “junkies” and street vendors for the National Theater fire, now Farouk Hosni, Mubarak’s minister of culture, is accusing the theater workers!
