People in Ezbet el-Nekhl was in an uproar today as the government ordered the slaughter of all pigs in Egypt over the "pig flu", a decision called "unfortunate" by UN health experts since the pig flu is now spreading from human to human and has nothing to do with pigs...
The decision threatens the livelihoods of many of Cairos zabaleen, who collect garbage and recycle it, using some of it to feed pigs.
