    'On Tuesday, Baye shooed away beggars dressed in rags and staring at the heaped food on display. A friend sitting with him who gave only one name, Louali, said the grains on display had been stockpiled "and traders wait until the lean season to sell at double its price."'

    WTF? If nobody's got any money what's the point in stockpiling it to sell it for double the price?
