| Egyptian authorities open Rafah border for one day for pilgrims |
| 2015-09-18 |
| [AlAhram] The border will be closed on the same day Egyptian authorities have opened the Rafah border crossing from one side on Thursday as an exception to receive pilgrims from the families of Paleostinian deaders travelling from the Gazoo Strip to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , MENA reported. About 500 people from the families of Paleostinians who bit the dust in the Gazoo war are performing the Hajj (the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca), an official source on the Rafah border told MENA. Vehicles have been provided for the pilgrims to travel to Cairo International Airport. The last time the border was opened was in August 2015, allowing 6,329 people to pass through the border either way. Egyptian authorities have for the most part kept the Rafah crossing closed since October 2014, following attacks by Islamist holy warriors in Egypt's governorate of North Sinai which left over 30 security personnel dead. The authorities have on occasion opened the crossing for three-day periods, allowing the passage of those in need of medical care to Egypt as well as Paleostinians travelling in either direction. Cairo has accused the Islamist movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, the de facto rulers of the Israeli-besieged Gazoo Strip, of aiding Lion of Islam groups in northern Sinai. Hamas has repeatedly denied the accusations. |
