One reason the area famous as 'Maspero Triangle' was on the government's agenda was that several foreign investors were reportedly interested in transforming it—the reason why residents have always rejected leaving. During the past 30 years, the government tried several means of moving Maspero Triangle residents out of the area, but their solutions never came to reality due to several factors, whether the dissatisfaction of residents or change occurring inside the government. Abd Al-Sabour also explained that he was skeptical about the other alternatives, particularly the one where residents wait for reconstruction in the triangle. Abdallah explained that three years of reconstruction would take place, and meanwhile he will have to stay outside Maspero Triangle. However, Maspero Triangle residents still have concerns that the government's intentions to develop the area would not be implemented, just as the previous government's plans.
