In Sudan, bankers are on strike to protest the military government. This has brought much of the economy to a standstill, and is causing hardship for people who don't have cash to buy food.

Is it correct to think of bankers as part of the people? Is it a good thing that bankers can bring the country to its knees by striking, or does it show they are dangerously powerful?
