The governor of the Red Sea governorate has said the long-running dispute over dividing the 'Al-Zomorroda' land plot in Safaga is being resolved, with the land due to be handed over to its rightful owners soon, according to Al-Ahram Gate.

The statement did not include a firm timeline, the number of families or plots involved, or details of how the division will be carried out. Al-Ahram Gate's report was illustrated with photos but gave no further written detail beyond the governor's pledge.

Land-division disputes of this kind can leave residents unable to build, sell or formally register property for years while the matter is unresolved. Safaga residents affected by the 'Al-Zomorroda' plot will be watching for a follow-up announcement with specifics on process and timing.
