Severe bread shortage in Egypt!
Mubarak responds by sending in his army to control the situation, and boost the bread production and distribution. Ten mega-bakeries in Cairo are directly run now by the military, who opened 500 Kisoks to distribute bread to the citizens.
Sending in the army to distribute bread? This is a clear sign of a failed state, of an inefficient regime, of incompetent fucks who have been good at nothing but torturing, abusing, looting, and exploiting our poor.. and they can’t even make the bread available! Why can’t the Egyptians have bread?!
Meanwhile, the West-backed neoliberal gangsters who run the economy continue giving rosy statements about the future. Do I hear the 1977 bells ringing? Your days are numbered Mubarak!
UPDATE: Those who have died in the bread queues amount to 15 citizens. It even reached the extent that:
In Dokki, police found Molotov cocktails. While it was initially believed that the material belonged to a group of terrorists, police investigations later revealed that these explosive devices were prepared to aid citizens in buying subsidized bread.
That’s Mubarak’s Egypt. People are literally starving!
UPDATE: Another report by the Daily News Egypt.
