Other international news worth noting in brief this morning include:
- Egypt is angling at the UN to cover for the South Sudanese government in its civil war and funneling arms to the country fueling that conflict, according to the Daily Beast, citing UN reports.
- The foreign press is harping on Marisa Papen,the anatomical expressionist and culturally insensitive buffoon, and her journey from a photo shoot in her birthday suit around our heritage sites to (ever so briefly) a jail cell.
