Following Mubarak's ouster, Israel stepped up construction of a security fence across the 230-kilometer (150-mile) border with Egypt in a bid to keep out both militants and illegal migrants from Africa. The government has said it expects the fence to be completed by the end of the year.



Israel is tiny -- and a sufficient number of economic refugees from Egypt and the rest of Africa would destroy the country probably with more certainty than Islamist radicals or Iranian nukes. Looks like this may shape out as their major political, military and economic challenge in the future.

Egypt is a nation with a rapidly growing population of almost 85 million, importing 50% of their food, and running out of hard currency. What does this mean?
