These efforts reflect the Armed Forces’ keenness to provide security across Egypt and to enable the country to push forward with the development process and establish more urban projects, Abdel-Hafez said.
The mine clearance operation also includes the El-Alamein area, which paves the way for farming and housing projects as well as establishing important projects like the Dabaa nuclear plant.
