The collision between two trains in Ayat, Egypt, has renewed calls to hold officials accountable for the repeated railway accidents. The Transport Committee of the House of Representatives called Transport Minister Kamel al-Wazir to an emergency meeting on Tuesday to discuss the circumstances of the crash, while opposition groups called for him to be questioned or for the government to be replaced. The cause of the collision has yet to be determined. Investigators are examining why the first train stopped, how the warning signals performed, and whether the driver of the second train received a warning in time to stop; a train needs about 1,500 metres to come to a complete halt. A female MP also called for disclosure of how the ministry’s loans had been spent and of accident data. This comes amid investments of around two trillion Egyptian pounds in the transport sector between 2014 and 2024. She stressed that the investigation’s findings should be awaited before taking measures to prevent similar accidents.
