Human Rights Groups say Egypt has executed seven people convicted of carrying out attacks.
It was gathered that three of them were found guilty of taking part in an attack at Helwan in the suburbs of Cairo in 2016 which killed eight policemen and the other four were convicted of killing police officers in earlier attacks.
Egypt has handed down hundreds of death sentences in recent years.
Human rights organisations noted that not only Islamists but a range of opponents of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi have been targeted.
In another development, many Masai people have volunteered to leave their homes in Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area, NCA after the government asked the pastoralists to relocate because the rising human population was putting pressure on wildlife. It was learnt that about 450 people from 86 households have expressed their intention to move.
Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa, who addressed over 350 Maasai elders, also known as Laigwanans on Friday, said President Samia Suluhu had expressed her deep concern for the fate of the area, which received Unesco’s Global Geopark status in 2018.
