Clashes between pig rearers and policemen broke out in Manshiyet Nasser, a shanty district east of Cairo, over the government's action of culling all the pigs, a pig rearer on the scene told Xinhua.
  "About 5,000 pig farmers clashed with the police forces in Manshiyet Nasser shantytown on Sunday as the government wants to cull all the pigs in Egypt," Atta, the pig rearer said.
  The Egyptian government decided last week to slaughter all pigs in the country immediately in an attempt to avert the outbreak of the fatal influenza A/H1N1, which has hit different parts of the world.
