# Sarah El Deeb and Lee Keath of AP report that the Egyptian government says
# the change is because of blackouts in Cairo, even though Ahram Online (cited
# above) says DST had no affect on electricity consumption. There is
# no information about when DST will end this fall. See:

+# From Steffen Thorsen (2015-04-08):
+# Egypt will start DST on midnight after Thursday, April 30, 2015.
+# This is based on a law (no 35) from May 15, 2014 saying it starts the last
+# Thursday of April.... Clocks will still be turned back for Ramadan, but
+# dates not yet announced....

-# For now, guess that later spring and fall transitions will use
