Statement regarding the court case filled by Habi Center for Environmental Rights against H.E. Minister of Interior and others regarding the Black Cloud.
Building on the efforts that the Habi Center for Environmental Rights (HCER) has initiated three years ago to confront the acute air pollution problem in Cairo (which is referred to in the media by the Black Cloud), the HCER has filled a court case number 1898 dated October 22, 2002 requesting the Minister of Interior to issue a decree that will entail measuring the exhaust gases of Cairo vehicles.

Amidst a state of confusion and conflicting statements from government officials, the smog phenomenon (also known as the Black Cloud) has occurred for the sixth year challenging all the official statements. It also uncovered the complete failure of concerned authorities to coordinate amongst them to deal with this reoccurring environmental disaster which became a riddle! A riddle due to the contradicting statements of the government officials!

In response to the dangerous violations that took place in the national protectorate of Wadi Degla in Maadi (such as constructing a highway through it and the growing amount of garbage surrounding it), the HCER, in collaboration with several NGO's, has called the following officials:

• H.E. Prime Minister of Egypt.
• H.E. State Minister for Environmental Affairs.
