Now, both Sudan and Tunisia have witnessed unrest due to austerity measures and rising food prices. The latest unrest happened last week, with more than 200 people being arrested, many injured and one death. When it comes to the question of the economy of North Africa, the aid that these countries need to stabilize and to help democracy flourish does not consist of loans from international institutions. And they will do nothing to stop the boats from coming to European shores, overladen with desperate people seeking a way out. What the people of these countries need are livable wages and affordable prices.
