CAIRO – 27 February 2019: Outlawed Muslim Brotherhood electronic militias circulated rumors on Social Media platforms that thousands of citizens are protesting at Tahrir Square.

The organized electronic militias attempted to take advantage of the wide range frustration caused by tragic Ramses station accident that left 20 killed and more than 40 injured on Wednesday.

The public prosecution office said that an altercation between two train drivers caused the deadly blaze at Cairo’s Ramses Railway Station that killed 20 at least and injured more than 40 passengers.

The investigation revealed that the locomotive no.2310 (the locomotive that caused the tragic incident) was on its way to the storage unit when it met locomotive no.2305 on the opposite direction.

Driver of the train that caused the accident left the locomotive running without brakes to start an altercation with the other driver over the right of way. The train arrived rabidly at platform six to crash into the buffers causing a huge explosion.
