Egypt's television reports say it has launched a formal corruption investigation against 3 former government ministers and a former ruling party leader. The report said the investigation is targeting former Commerce Minister Rachid Mohammed Rachid, former Tourism Minister Zuhair Garana, and former Housing Minister Ahmed Maghrabi. Ahmed Ezz, former senior figure in the ruling party, is also under investigation. Ezz, a parliment member is a close confidant of President Hosni Mubarak's son Gamal. The three ministers were part of the Cabinet Mubarak sacked early on in the protests against his rule that began on Jan. 25. Ezz has resigned from the ruling party. Everyone gathered on Thursday as labor unrest across the country gave powerful momentum to Egypt's wave of anti-government protests. With its efforts to manage the crisis failing, the government threatened the army could crack down by imposing martial law. The protests in their 17th day — which have focused on demanding President Hosni Mubarak's to step down from presidency have tapped into the even deeper well of anger over economic woes, including inflation, unemployment, corruption, low wages and wide economic disparities between rich and poor.
This has to do with government because Egypts economy and conflicts have a direct effect on the united states economy.
I think that Eygpt needs to figure out their issues because they are not only hurting there economy they are hurting ours too. Eygpts termoil is effecting out gas prices for the month of feburary they are at an all time high. America needs to become less dependent on other countries because when they have a problem it makes us involved too.

I agree this effects the United States a lot. The U.S. is still very dependant on other countries and they effect our economy. I hope President Murabak can get this straightened out soon. but I think there are corrupt polititians in every country and I think that's all this was about. Hopefully Mubarak won't have to enforce his laws with martial law against his own people, but things sure are a mess over there.
