Analysts fear the growing outrage at the actions of the security services against ordinary citizens could provide the spark that ignites a rebellion in a country where two thirds of the population of 74 million are young people enduring economic strife, grim employment prospects and a bleak future even as the wealthy minority appear to grow richer amid tales of corruption and exploitation of public resources...
