I made a mistake. I turned on the news. Apparently it has just dawned on the press and on the gov't that all is not well in Egypt.
Why are we paying the people in gov't?
Nine years ago a young Egyptian girl came to school with Marguerite. Her mom is a doctor, her father is a banker. Both have advanced degrees from good universities. The family is Coptic Christian. Supsequent conversations revealed that the Copts were moving out because of persecution from the Muslim Brotherhood. The educated and rich were fleeing.
A small amount of research produced the stats about money distributation in Egypt. I noted the amazing use of cell phones even among the quite poor. This use was growing. I remembered that the Palestinians can't flee to Egypt. Egyptians don't want exta population. They really don't want politicized Palestrinians.
How hard is it to figure that what with a very young poplulation, the increasing awareness fueled by technology and with poverty that hard times were coming?
