| 2013-11-03 | |
| [Ynet] Security officials in Egypt say a fight between two families sparked by a dispute in a line to buy bread has killed nine people. The officials said Saturday the feud began a month earlier in a town in the southern governorate of Assiut when a member of the Shaibaa tribe was killed in a fight over who was first in line to buy bread. Four members of the rival family were charged over the killing.

| #4 This is not poverty, this is face (what westerners mistranslate as "honor"). People who are not seriously hungry don't tie face to being first in line for a loaf of bread, g(r)omgoru, but to less immediately tangible things. |

| #1 This is what real poverty looks like, as compared to most of what is labelled poverty in the U.S. This is not poverty, this is face (what westerners mistranslate as "honor"). |
