Here We Go: Suez Canal Workers Go On Strike
And here we go:
Suez Canal Company workers from the cities of Suez, Port Said, and
Ismailia began an open-ended sit in today. Disruptions to shipping
movements, as well as disasterous econmic losses, are expected if the
strike continues. Over 6000 protesters have agreed that they will not go
home today once their shift is over and will continue their in front of
the company's headquarters until their demands are met. They are
protesting against poor wages and deteriorating health and working
conditions.
And just to make sure that there is complete confusion, here's Bloomberg with an earlier comment:
Egypt’s Suez Canal shipping traffic is operating normally, Mohamed Motair, director of companies at the Suez Canal Authority, said by telephone today.
Update from Reuters:
According to a senior canal official, Egypt's Suez Canal operating normally, strikes by companies owned by Suez Authority are not involved in Canal operations
Keep an eye on oil, which jumped on the news:

I will raise you Jew Nukes v. your china man made conventional crap... all day every day.
You mean the people asking to see some sort of action to justify the continuous ridiculous claims of wishful thinkers?
i.e., Debka
Probably not RPGs. Too small penetration.
Shshshhhhh.
One of 'em might actually try.
You spoil sport.

Dood, you spend your time pimping your blog on someone else's.
I would say you need to get a real job, except there aren't any. So never mind, pimp away.
We need a macro that lets us ignore posts.
I've got a page here.

You're free to ignore it.
This might have something to do with gold and silver spiking today...
EAF order of Battle. Won't be caught on the ground like last time.

good general view, but let's think like ops and 2-paranoids for a bit: From Egypt's point of view
a) what do we want (whoever) to see? when/what??
b) where do we want to spot up fuel/Class 5/support/FAARP, etc.
c) when do we want to display next move?
d) how fast can IAF i) anticipate same and ii) plan/load/launch/deliver TOT.
e) how do we defend vs. d)
I'd bet a cheeseburger of your choice that IAF and Zahal have thought this through as well. But nothing even NOFORN here.

It's real serious when they are talking double speak, of course the head of this or that of the Suez Canal is going to say everything is fine. This wildfire is spreading and it will continue to spread into the rest of Arabia.
