Here is an article with a bit more background http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-South-Central/2011/0816/...

thanks for the background story, Guelo.

People's protests all over the country should send a clear signal to the government. Corruption/bribery even in obtaining basis services has been a pest for way too long.. It's time for it to stop now.

Social media has played a nice role by allowing protesters to share news and coordinate.

It seems that corrupt officials and citizens who don't pay taxes go hand in hand. I wonder which came first.

Regardless, intuitively it seems to me that these problems will be solved when poverty is reduced and everyone moves up the economic ladder.
