Other international coverage of Egypt

Other coverage of Egypt in the international press worth noting in brief:

• Former US Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson is out of the running to become undersecretary of defense for policy, Reuters reports. Officials say Patterson ran into resistance on Capitol Hill that might have made it hard for her to win confirmation by the Senate.
• Ibrahim Halawa’s family expressed dismay after he was not included in the most recent round of presidential pardons, Ellen Coyne writes in The Times.
