EGYPTIAN taxi drivers have stormed the gates of the finance ministry in Cairo during a protest against the terms of loan payments on their cars, security officials say.
Other taxi drivers in the protest were upset the government had not yet replaced their old black and white taxis with the more recent white cars equipped with metres.
Ministry employees armed with clubs and chairs prevented the drivers from entering the building on Tuesday.
Egypt had replaced most antiquated black and white taxis in Cairo with more modern white ones over the past four years, but some older models were not eligible for the program.
The new taxis were bought through financing, and many drivers now say they cannot afford to keep up with payments amid increasing inflation.
Taxis, relatively cheap compared with Western fares, are one of the main forms of transportation in Cairo.
