Culhat al Belt - Part 1 

Episode 1
"the men of Birchircara and those of other villages are prepared to come into Valletta in strength to-day.... ...all the hooligan elements have been drawn into the movement and carefully prepared for the occasion by this secret force..." types Henry Casolani as he sits at his desk on the morning of Saturday 7th June. The first episode of 'Culhat al Belt' examines the root causes of the 'Sette Giugno' riots: from inflation and the steep rise in prices sparked in part by the Great War to the Maltese claims to self-government.
