I'm not getting anything on the enshitified search engines. I read a book about five big cities that talked about it, and other issues like sprawl and air pollution, some twenty plus years ago, then about 20 years back there were a couple of articles in the NYTimes, this was before they sucked entirely as now, back when they actually put out a small book of material everyday, before they were downgraded, and surrendered to the republicans.

The Times articles, at least one specifically talked about Cairo.

I don't know how to find information now, the search engines used to work, and now don't. I typed in the information, and the results were not even trying to give me what I asked for. I know it can work because it did work. Using startpage, but duckgo, and the other corposearches are the same if not worse, since 2021 they've gotten worse.

Anyway if I find something I will post it back on here.

Honestly if it was something you read 20 years ago and there's nothing about it to be found today, there's a chance it was nothing but racist nonsense. (Not saying you're racist or anything, just that the source might have been and you got taken in).
