– RIOTS IN EGYPT
The price of corns raised, world wide, over 50% in the last year and forced the Egyptian government to raise the price of the subsidized basic food products or face a serious budget and economic crisis which can stop the growth of the Egyptian economy.
Food prices were always a delicate matter in the poor Egyptian society and, traditionally, provoked, time and again, unrests, mass demonstrations and wide protests.
