Man killed in Naga Hammadi bread line
A young man was killed on Sunday in a fight over a loaf of bread in front of a bakery in the village of Salameya in the Upper Egyptian city of Naga Hammadi. It’s reminiscent of the incidents prior to the Mahalla 2008 uprising, where at least 14 people had been reported killed in fights over bread across the country.
