So in this situation, when a government cannot come to consensus within their own divisions, who do we listen to?<br>

Me neither, though I haven't looked that hard and I read Arabic only via <br>
automatic translators. Given your recent email and others, though, the <br>
likelihood of the change happening seemed high enough that a new tzdata <br>

<br>
The Egyptian government regularly changes daylight-saving rules with <br>
less than two weeks' notice, most recently in April of last year. Let's <br>
hope we guessed right this time. Either way, maybe you could add Egypt <br>
to the hall of fame in <br>
