Egypt's cabinet reduces curfew hours in North Sinai's Al-Arish city
2015-08-13
[AlAhram] Egypt's cabinet decided on Wednesday to limit curfew hours in Al-Arish, the capital of the restive North Sinai, to four hours from 1am to 5am, MENA state news agency reported.
That'll last until the next murderous attack...
The curfew on Al-Arish, Sheikh Zuweid and other parts of North Sinai was first imposed on 25 October 2014 for a three month period, a day after 31 army personnel were killed in a car kaboom by Islamist murderous Moslems.

The decrease in curfew hours applies only to Al-Arish.

Since October 2014, the Egyptian government extended the curfew in Al-Arish and neighouring areas for three more months twice.

Locals have long expressed discomfort with the length of curfew hours complaining of the difficulties of living under an 11-hour shut-down for months at a time.
