One year after the revolution in Egypt, things are going from bad to worse in Egypt. Despite intensive efforts by the Mursi government, Egypt is passing through its worst economic crisis.
Unfortunately, instead of preparing a joint strategy to tackle poverty and unemployment, the opposition is trying hard to get political mileage from the situation. Cities in Egypt are in the grip of violence.
But it is not Egypt alone which is going through an economic crisis in our world. Several European economies are also in a bad shape. After long years of the Mubarak rule, Egypt has just started its democratic era. Public expectations remain high but the fact is that no one can bring about sweeping economic changes in just one year. Only a united Egypt and a joint strategy by the political leadership can do that.
