Protesters in Ayyat, Giza, ended their protests on Monday after blocking trains for 17 hours, eyewitnesses said. 

A train bound for Cairo left at 11:30 am. The protests had blocked railway movement on the Cairo-Upper Egypt line.

The decision to end the protest came after Assistant Interior Minister Ahmed Gamal Eddin, Giza Governor Ali Abdel Rahman and Giza head of security Abdeen Youseef met to discuss the situation.

The residents of Ayyat had begun demonstrations to protest the establishment of a cell phone tower in their village.
