Egyptian protestors chant slogans and hold banners at a demonstration outside the syndicate of journalists in Cairo on May 8, 2008 against recent price hikes. Already stunned by skyrocketing prices, Egyptians voiced despair this week after the government raised duties on fuel and cigarettes in a bid to pay for a promised public sector wage increase. The banners read: "No to the government who steals the nations money" (L) and "Mubarak, you who have bankrupted us, what do you do with all our money?"
