A government official in Egypt has quit his job because some old cemeteries in Cairo were damaged, including some very old buildings.
Dr Ayman Wanas, who is an urban design professor, has said that his job of documenting important buildings in the capital city of Egypt has become pointless.
He said that the government‘s actions to improve the cemetery areas were a waste of Egypt’s valuable and unique history.
Many Egyptians on social media are very angry and upset about the campaign.
However, the government claims that its campaign is focused on repairing and building, rather than causing harm.
