Cairo, Oct 11: Egypt’s deputy prime minister today quit in protest against the way the military-led government handled the sectarian violence that claimed at least 25 lives in clashes between Coptic Christians, Muslims and the security forces here.
Hazem el-Beblawi, also the finance minister, said despite the “fact that there might not be direct responsibility on the government’s part, responsibility lies, ultimately, with the government”.
“The current circumstances are very difficult and require a new and different way of thinking and working,” he was quoted as saying by state news agency MENA.
