"We are not dirt": Forced evictions in Egypt's informal settlements

More than 12 million people live in Egypt's sprawling informal settlements (slums). Over the years, the authorities have treated these people with contempt, subjected them to unlawful forced evictions and threatened them with arbitrary arrest under repressive emergency legislation if they dared to protest.

    • That goes for the Phillipines too. Control your overpopulation problem or be forced to wade in your own filth. Bleeding your excess citizens unto the rest of the planet will never make your country any wealthier.

    • There are way too many people on this planet and until societies realizes there is an overpopulation problem things will only get worse.
      You have countries like Yemen where the average woman will have 5 children in her lifetime. I say restrict any and all immigration from such countries. If they don't learn their lesson they will export their failing values unto a nation state near you. Will there be starvation and death? Of course.
