Asia raises alarm on Egypt travellers
Australia and China told their citizens not to travel to Egypt Sunday, as Tokyo appealed for help for 500 Japanese stranded at Cairo airport and Asian nations voiced concern about the country’s turmoil.
The Philippines is setting up shelters in case thousands of migrant workers needed to be evacuated, and the Hyundai-Kia car group was reported to have temporarily closed its African headquarters in Cairo.
The rising concern came as Egypt faced another day of angry revolt against Hosni Mubarak’s regime Sunday, with more than 100 already dead in protests demanding the veteran president quit.
