In January 2011, anti-government protests aimed at forcing President Hosni Mubarak to resign, caused riots and a political crisis across Egypt and the Middle East. Lack of economic progress, high unemployment rates, and young people’s zeal for more opportunities and an escape from poverty, sent thousands of protestors into the major cities of Egypt to demonstrate their anger. As a result, an Egyptian Revolution has begun and is having a wide economic and political impact on local business and global trade, and has propagated various economic and political risks in Egypt, the entire Middle East/North Africa region and to some extent, the rest of the world.
