EGYPT POWER OUTAGE



EGYPT POWER OUTAGE: The Giza, Cairo's neighboring city, remains in darkness during a power cut as a boat sails along the Nile river in Cairo, Egypt, on Sept. 5, 2014. Egypt suffered a massive power outage that halted parts of the Cairo subway, took TV stations off the air and ground much of the country to a halt for several hours Thursday, as officials offered no clear explanation for how the country suddenly lost 50 percent of its power generation. In a nationally televised speech on Saturday, Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi asked the public to be patient and grasp the extent of the challenges facing the country following a massive power outage that struck the capital and other cities.
