Egypt's President enters Algeria football rowSunday, November 22, 2009
 President Mubarak said Egypt does not tolerate attacks on its dignity The dispute was triggered by violence following football World Cup qualifying matches between the two north African Arab nations. Algeria won the crucial play-off, but each side has accused the other's fans of attacking their supporters. The governing body of world football, Fifa, is investigating the violence. The BBC's Yolande Knell in Cairo says in a country where political demonstrations are usually heavily suppressed this is an unusual site and a further sign of how strained Egypt's relationship with Algeria has now become. In the televised statement to a joint session of parliament, President Mubarak said his country will not be lax in defending the rights and integrity of its citizens. BBC News |
