Leadership Vacuum in Suez Illustrates Egypt's Instability
(McClatchy) Hannah Allam - For the past two months, the bustling seaport of Suez - home of the Suez Canal - with a population of 550,000, has had no working police force. "There is absolutely no one to run the city. Even in this transitional period, we don't see any administrators, any government workers; the governor isn't here, no secretaries of the governorate, nothing," said Hani Haddad, 32, an unemployed accountant. "The consequences are showing up: drugs all over the street, thuggery, robberies, no traffic control, rising food prices. The only positive thing I see is that people are now free to talk."
