Following this chain of events, it is possible that this conflict will be ending quite soon.
I hope this will end soon as it may result in the end of the Jasmine revolution in Tunisia and establish order in Egypt.
How may this affect us?
The answer is simple; oil.
Without oil, basically, the world is doomed.
Egypt is also a major supplier of liquified natural gas.
Which goes to show, the Middle East is an important place.
Will continue to update until next Monday, which is presentation day.
