Last spring, fearing that swine flu was caused by swines - and before even one case of the flu had been reported in Egypt - Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak ordered all pigs in Egypt slaughtered.
And now there's a garbage problem in Cairo.Pigs ate the organic waste in Cairo. Now, the organic waste is left on the streets.
As a former garbage collector says..."They killed the pigs, let them clean the ciy. Everything used to go to the pigs, now there are no pigs so it goes to the administration."
Lesson to be learned: it doesn't pay to make hasty decisions based on fear.
