Former European Commission President Romano Prodi said Egypt may be vulnerable to an uprising similar to Tunisia after street protests threw that country’s government into disarray, according to an editorial in il Messaggero.

“Egypt is growing well and has good opportunities for growth to continue, but the fragility of the political situation makes it extremely vulnerable to youth unemployment and the increase in the price of bread,” Prodi wrote in the editorial.
