Security committee to investigate Gerga turmoil A committee consisting of security officials is to investigate the violent clashes in Gerga sparked after a tuktuk crashed into a shop
Minister of Interior Mansour El-Essawi has ordered that a committee be set up consisting of security officials to investigate the violent clashes in the city of Gerga in the Sohag governorate. The bloody confrontations have been ongoing for three consecutive days, leaving more than 150 in hospital and three dead. The clashes started two days ago when a tuktuk crashed in to a storefront. In the ensuing fight between the tuktuk driver - from the nearby village of Nag Awis - and the store owner, the city's police station was attacked and weapons were stolen from it by an angry mob. Railway connections in and out of the city were cut for six hours by local residents seeking revenge for their dead.
