Salah Moawad, head of the agricultural services sector at Egypt’s Ministry of Agriculture, made a public statement four days ago denying news that swarms of locusts have caused damage to crops. “The current inspection teams at areas targeted by locusts did not witness swarms damaging a single inch of crop till now,” he said.
...“The locusts are merely storing fat on their bodies while they go on their spring migration outside of Egypt,” Abdel Momen said in a televised statement.
“This phenomenon occurs every year, and inspection teams are always present in areas targeted to observe and report,” he continued.

...und weil es so "spannend" ist...noch ein kontraerer Bericht mit angeblicher Sichtung in Kairo

Interessant finde ich die Angaben, dass ein Schwarm von 1 Tonne etwa soviel wie 2.500 Menschen verzehrt...
(...und alle essen Gruenzeug???)
Also, abwarten was wirklich passiert!
