Other international stories on Egypt worth noting in brief include:

  • A lawyer says police arrested seven Nubians who were protesting outside a courthouse over a judge's decision to extend the detention of relatives detained for protesting for Nubian land rights, the AP notes.
  • The Tour N’ Cure medical tourism program is receiving an extensive report from France 24, which also interviewed its managing director Mostafa El Sayed. The biggest challenge for the program is people doubting the efficacy of getting treatment in Egypt, El Sayed says.
