>CAIRO, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Dollar revenues from Egypt's Suez Canal are down 40% from the beginning of the year compared to 2023, canal authority head Osama Rabie said on Thursday, after attacks on ships by Yemen's Houthis caused major shippers to divert away from the route
>The Suez Canal is a key source of scarce foreign currency for Egypt, and authorities have been trying hard to boost revenues in recent years, including through an expansion of the canal in 2015. A further expansion is under way.
So maybe some anon with a better understanding of Egypt can explain why the Egyptians aren't screaming bloody hell. Imagine a 40% reduction in revenue from a major income stream in any other country. And all we hear is basically "meh".
The cited article is pretty much all I could find on the topic and it is from mid January.
