ARISH, Egypt: Protestors blocked the international road between Arish and Rafah after they amassed in front of the General Cabinet of North Sinai Governorate to protest the kidnapping of a child, Mahmoud Saeed Siraj, Sunday morning. The protestors burned tires in the road and prevented traffic movement, calling for the return of Siraj, and for a solution to the state of insecurity. Local sources and eyewitnesses said that most cars coming from Rafah and going to Arish used the middle Arish road to avoid the crowd.
