EGYPT: Egyptians Divided Over Expansion Of Suez Canal

Egypt is about to unveil its expansion to the Suez Canal, one of the most important trade corridors in the world.

It took a year to build, and has cost some $8.5bn (£5.4bn).

The Egyptian government, though, hopes the new lane will double the waterway's shipping capacity and encourage more global trade at a time when the economy needs a boost.
