=== Opportunity cost of conflict ===
A report<ref name="strategicforesight.com">[http://www.strategicforesight.com/publication_pdf/39166Cost%20of%20Conflict%20in%20the%20Middle%20East.pdf], Strategic Foresight Group report: Cost of Conflict in the Middle East 2009</ref> by [[Strategic Foresight Group]] has calculated the opportunity [[cost of conflict]] for Egypt since 1991 is almost US $800 billion. In other words, had there been peace since 1991, an average Egyptian citizen would be earning over US $3,000 a year instead of US $1,700.
