Several banks in the upper Egyptian city, Qena are forced to close after the gun fire clashes which took place on Sunday between two prominent tribes at one of the main squares there.
“The boards of banks ordered closure to avoid any armed assault on banks” Hesham Bahrwa one of Nasser Social Bank employees told Ahram reporter.
A fully fledged gunfight in Qena broke out late Sunday and lasted till the early morning of the next day, leaving the Upper Egyptian governorate in a state of disarray with 13 people injured and public properties damaged.
