Examplet Of A Vote Of Thanks At The Wedding

new records, nightmare prices

The wind from the Maghreb could reach Asia? The infection is able to bypass geographical distance, cultural differences and political regimes to fuel new forms of rebellion? One thing is certain
: one of the elements - explosives - which have hatched a long time under the North African revolt is becoming "endemic" in Asia: is the increase in food prices . A boom is hitting hard countries. The World Bank the food price index increased by 15% between late 2010 and January this year , a jump of only three points lower than the dramatic peak in 2008. The last six months have seen a sharp increase in prices of wheat, corn, sugar and rice.

A mix arsonist who chased him, according to the World Bank food price watch, 44 million people below the poverty line. It is especially frightening to the ride of wheat: between June and December 2010, the price of wheat has increased in Bangladesh (45%), Mongolia (33%), Sri Lanka (31%), Afghanistan (19%), Pakistan ( 16%). The price of rice has exploded in Vietnam (46%) Indonesia (19%), Bangladesh (19%), Sri Lanka (12%) and China (9%). As reported by the Wall Street journal in Singapore consumer prices in January rose by 5.5%. Inflation in Hong Kong was 2.4% in 2010 but the authorities expect a sharp acceleration to 4.5%. In Vietnam it was the leap of 12.31%. Just in Vietnam could take the scenario most feared by the Asian regimes: the balance of the protests on prices to the claims of human rights. Yesterday, the Vietnamese regime has arrested Nguyen Dan Que, an activist who spent 20 years in prison. Her crime? Have called for a "revolt Maghreb."

is above the two Asian giants - India and China - eight to be in the spotlight. Food inflation in New Delhi has skyrocketed in December: plus 18% . And the response of the square not long in coming. More than 200 thousand people took to the streets to protest the increases. Demonstrators
marched in procession from the outskirts of New Delhi up to Parliament, in the heart of the city. The government tries to run for cover, pointing to an increase in food aid to the poor at an altitude of 30 billion dollars. Then all eyes are on China. A few timid skirmish "popular" has already proved. Also prepared was married in Beijing. Who sent the police. Yesterday, Beijing has backtracked on freedom of movement of the foreign press in the country by reintroducing strict rules under which journalists you have to do not only in situations of permanent tension as Tibet, but also in the center of Shanghai and Beijing. The Dragon does not hide his fears. Premier Wen Jiabao said no half measures that inflation is the real enemy to fight . In January, the index of consumer prices grew by 4.9% over the same month last year, a new surge after +4.6% in December. The same planned growth will be cooled to avoid imbalances in too deep. A scare Beijing is an old "demon" that continues to crawl under his skin: the popular revolts. As the analyst wrote
Indian Prem Shankar Jha, "in January 2006 - before Beijing obscured the data - the Chinese media reported that the number of public disturbances in 2004 had risen from 74 thousand to 87 thousand in 2005. Ten times the number of incidents recorded in 1993 . In 2007, the riots had reached a height of 90 thousand. One of the causes of the riots? The blaze on prices. ;
