Egypt shortens curfew after lull in unrest
None
Egypt's government has shortened a widely-imposed evening curfew by two hours starting Saturday, responding to citizens' demands as unrest in the country wanes.
The Cabinet said in a statement that the evening curfew would begin at 9 pm rather than 7 pm. The statement said an exception to the shorter hours will be in effect on Fridays, the first day of the weekend in Egypt and when recent protests have been incredibly fierce. (AP)
