CAIRO -The Egyptian Minister of Transport, Kamel al-Wazir, carried out, on Tuesday, a wide reshuffle in key positions at the Egyptian Railway Authority, in an attempt to deflect the popular anger over recurring of train crashes.
This comes at a time when the Egyptian public is pressing for all officials, including the most senior, to be held accountable for these disasters, regardless of their positions, not excluding cabinet members.
On Sunday, the Benha train wreck north of Cairo, which resulted in the death of 11 people and the injury of hundreds of others, renewed speculation about an imminent government reshuffle in Egypt.
