Curfew

[MaidenScotland]

There is a curfew in force from 2300 tonight until 0700 tomorrow morning in the Abbasiya district of Cairo. It is not clear how many days this curfew will be in force.

All British Nationals should avoid the Abbasiya area.

Internet and Mobile phone coverage is currently experiencing some disruption in the Cairo area.

It will not just affect Abbaseya though, it will block a huge area with very heavy through traffic too

I am more concerned about being off line...

I've not had any trouble with either mobile or internet (fingers crossed)

Friend who live in 6th October complained on her facebook today about the internet going off and being very slow when it resumed,

Talking about 6th October, Sherine Tadros (AJE) just tweeted:
