Ex-Egypt Premier Shafik arrives in Egypt

Former Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik, who last week announced plans to run for presidency, was deported from the UAE on Saturday, his family said, and arrived in Cairo hours later. With airport security high, Shafik landed in a private plane at Cairo Airport on Saturday evening, airport sources said. A Reuters witness at the airport said Egyptian authorities escorted Shafik in a motorcade that was waiting for him outside the airport. UAE news agency WAM said Shafik left the UAE, an ally of Al-Sisi’s government, for Egypt without giving any details on why or how he had departed. It said his family had remained behind in the Emirates.
