A guard sits in front of one of the gates of a metal factory, which is operating with few workers, on the outskirts of Cairo, February 26, 2013. Countrywide, the report estimates over 4,500 factories have shut since the revolution, swelling by hundreds of thousands the ranks of unemployed in a nation where two-fifths of the people live on or around the poverty line. The unemployment rate is around 13 percent, according to official data, but private analysts believe the actual rate is much higher. Picture taken February 26, 2013.
