Re: Egypt - Canadian tourist shot in Sohag - after surgery condition is "unstable"

This is all that I can find at this time in the Egyptian press. Typically on Friday there are less articles written.

There are no updates as to the current condition of the Canadian tourist.

The circumstances of the shooting are not clear. Some articles say it was random street violence, others say that it was an attempt to either rob or kidnap the tourist. Apparently security has responded to the area.

This week the US State Department issued a travel alert for Egypt:

Egypt
Montreal man shot dead

Agence QMI

Montreal man died for no reason at Luxor, in the east of Egypt, Friday, innocent victim of a war between rival clans.

34 years old, Jean-Francois Pelland was a teacher and soccer coach.

The victim and a friend - another Canadian - were aboard a taxi on the way to a temple they intended to visit on Wednesday in Sohag, according to local media. The car approached an illegal dam, located in the village of Al-Samata, near Alexandria, in the north, by the members of a clan wanting revenge against another. Gunmen respondent the driver to stop, which he refused to do. They then opened fire on the taxi. Mr. Pelland was hit by a bullet in the chest.

It seems that the perpetrators of the attack wanted revenge for recent kidnappings. They would set up a roadblock in order to intercept the kidnappers.

The Quebec man was taken to hospital in Luxor, where surgeons operated. The intervention lasted five to six hours. The Montrealer has nevertheless succumbed to his injuries.

Flyer

On the website of the British Columbia Canadian International School, which employed Jean-Francois Pelland, it was as an athlete and a great traveler. "I have traveled more than 35 countries around the world, and I will not leave Egypt until I have not seen the whole of Africa," he wrote.

"A great traveler," insisted Magaly Brodeur, a close friend of the deceased, who has "collapsed" at the news.

"His dream was to travel all over the world, she wrote in an exchange with QMI Agency. He had left Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he was a teacher, to accept a teaching position in Cairo. It was a great sportsman much appreciated by his students. He was a passionate, extremely generous. A travel partner and a friend incredible as found rarely. "

"It was someone special, said Ms. Brodeur. [...] I will miss him terribly. Lost his life in this way is so unfair. "

The former Canadian Forces had graduated as a teacher in physical education in 1998 at the University of Montreal and had recently completed his Master.

Excuses and blame

A group representing the youth of Al-Samata apologized on behalf of the village in a letter to the Canadian ambassador. He also invited to go there to receive the condolences of the community.

The letter also reflects a deep unease in the region.
"We are the victims of the previous regime [of Mubarak], which has fueled wars between families and villages in the north of Egypt," a young man accused in the letter to the ambassador.

Another, Mohamed Abdel Aziz, told the website Ahram.org "I think the Canadian citizen has died because of unsafe conditions in our village."

Various sources had earlier mistakenly identified the victim as Jeff, John and John, with Francis to name. It was also said that he had 23 or 24 years.
