Egypt's population has risen by 17.3 million since 2006; a 23.7 percent increase
Ahram Online , Wednesday 23 Nov 2016
Egypt’s population will reach 92 million on Thursday, rising by one million over the last six months and making the total number of Egyptians worldwide 100 million, the Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics (CAPMAS) announced in a statement on Wednesday.
From 2006 to 2016, Egypt's population rose by 17.3 million, according to CAPMAS.
"The ongoing population growth rates significantly limit the efforts to achieve tangible progress in living standards," the statement read.
Prime Minister Sherif Ismail warned in July of the current rate of population increase, saying it hinders the country's development plans.
In 2015, CAPMAS said that the current population growth rate of 2.4 percent represents one of the most important and dangerous challenges that Egyptian society faces, adding that the rate was five times that of developed countries and double the average for developing countries.
At least 25 people were reported killed and 31 injured after an explosion near the Coptic Cathedral in Cairo's Abbassyia district early Sunday morning, Minister of Health Ahmed Emad told CBC Extra satellite channel.
The Coptic Church's official spokesperson Rev Paul Halim told Al-Ahram Arabic that the explosion took place in the small church of St Peter and St Paul (El-Botroseya), attached to the Coptic Cathedral.
Security forces are screening the area and have blocked the main roads surrounding the cathedral.
The injured have been transferred to Dar El-Shefaa and Ain Shams University Hospital.
A security source told the Middle East News Agency (MENA) that the explosion was caused by a 12 kilogramme TNT bomb.
Member of the Coptic Papal residence Samuel Metias told MENA that the explosion occurred in the ladies section of the St Peter and St Paul church. The St Mark Cathedral was left undamaged.
This is the third explosion this week. On Friday, an explosion killed six policemen and injured three others in Giza's Haram district and another occurred in Kafr El-Sheikh international road, killing one civilian and injuring three policemen.
There have been several minor attacks on churches following the dispersal of the Rabaa Al-Adawyia sit-in protesting the overthrow of Islamist former president Mohamed Morsi, who hails from the Muslim Brotherhood.
The worst attack against Copts in Egypt was in 2011 when 23 people were killed in an explosion at the Two Saints Church in Alexandria.
事件は11日、キリスト教の一派コプト教の聖マルコ大聖堂（Saint Mark's Cathedral）に隣接する聖ペテロ・聖パウロ教会（Saint Peter and Saint Paul Church）で礼拝中に発生し、保健省によると25人が死亡した。死者の大半は女性だったとされる。エジプトで人口の約10％を占めるコプト教徒を標的とした攻撃としては近年で最悪レベルの事件となった。
In keeping up with the surge in prices Egypt has been experiencing, especially in the aftermath of the late lift of fuel subsidies and the free floatation of the Egyptian pound, the Governor of Cairo, Atef Abdel Hamid, approved a new tariff for the white taxi on Monday the 21st, according to Al Bawaba.
The new tariff would have the metres start at 4 EGP instead of the previous 3 EGP, and the per kilometre price will be set at 1.75 EGP instead of 1.40 EGP, which is an increase of 35 piasters per kilometre. The waiting rate will also increase by 14 piasters to stand at 39 piasters per minute (14 EGP per hour.)
The new tariff is currently being gradually activated among taxis, where some have already started operating by it.
