The Egyptian Exchange administration has decided on Sunday to hold a moment of silence for the children killed in Assiut train. About 51 young children were killed on Saturday when a train collided with their bus on a railway crossing in Manfalut, 356 kilometres (220 miles) south of Cairo.
The EGX has delayed its trading session of Sunday for a minute as it started at 10:31a.m. (08:31 GMT) amid high expectations of witnessing downwards due to the current political scene including the Egyptian church and Wafd Party’s withdrawal from the constituent assembly to draft the country’s new constitution.
