ASWAN, April 7 (Aswat Masriya) Aswan's Ben al-Helal and al-Dabodeya tribes finally reached a truce on Monday after their violent confrontations killed at least 24 since Friday, state television said. 

The tribes agreed to the truce in exchange of the release of those detained from both sides and the suspending of media campaigns. 

Aswan Governor Mostafa Yousry told the state news agency that things are calm now in the Upper Egypt governorate. 

Yousry added that the deployment of police and armed forces in Aswan helped greatly in containing the tension and violence. 

Egypt's Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab paid a visit to the troubled governorate on Saturday and ordered that a fact finding committee be formed to investigate the violence.
