Egypt: Fuel shortage

Egyptians line up for fuel at a gas station, Cairo, August 3, 2011. As Egypt's economy suffers, a fuel crisis surfaces again amid conflicting official reports and announcements about underlying causes. Egypt's fuel crisis is an old prolem 'which has old roots', says Hazim al-Beblawy, Egyptian Deputy PM and Finance Ministe. Meanwhile,  Mohamed Shoeib, Head of Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), relates current crisis to 'technical issues', mainly marketing and coordination efforts.
