Wow, that is a quality bit of journalism. The whole situation is just mind boggling. It was saying that remittances (money sent home by migrants to their families) was propping up the country. If I remember correctly, OMG was designed in mind to circumvent predatory fees associated with that service.

CryptoCurrencies will absolutely be playing a larger role here as failing states and organizations try to grasp at power and control over the flow of resources.
Thank you, @exit404
