Why might you be wrong?

Shipping could increase again through the Suez Canal, and the price of oil could rise. Both of these would support the Egyptian economy.

New Prediction
Why do you think you're right?

There are so many economic and fiscal issues occurring in Egypt that would make it highly difficult for Egypt to avoid an economic crisis with each issue snowballing each other.

Files
Why might you be wrong?

Other countries or international institutions could step in to help bail Egypt out of some of its issues which would help prevent a full-scale crisis.

New Prediction
Why do you think you're right?

China has historically not been highly interested in establishing military bases abroad outside of the special circumstance of Djibouti. Additionally, the US would work fervently to prevent any African country from agreeing to host a PLA military base, increasing the political difficulties for Chinese success in setting up new military bases.

Files
Why might you be wrong?

China has historically had security ties in the Sub-Saharan Africa, and if the UN does not feel sufficient to China, it may be incentivized to establish military bases to protect its interests in the region.
