Egypt: Fire Department of the Interior after an event

An impressive fire raged Tuesday, March 22 in the afternoon several floors of a building next to the Egyptian Interior Ministry in Cairo, before whom the police had indicated earlier in the day. A thick smoke rose from the administration building while firefighters attempted to extinguish the fire, according to images of public television.

The fire then spread to another building department. The causes of fire were not immediately known. Just before the start of the flames, thousands of police gathered outside the ministry to protest against their working conditions. "Suddenly we saw the building catch fire," he told state television one of the police protesters, saying the protesters had nothing to do with the disaster.

"We have nothing to do" with the fire, he said, explaining that the police wanted to negotiate such an increase in wages with their minister. From ex-police angry demanding their reinstatement had set fire to the same office building in late February. Thirteen of them were sentenced to five years in prison by a military court for "setting fire to a building's interior ministry."
