The Supreme Media Council’s ban on SNL Arabia is topping coverage of Egypt in the English-language press this morning, with stories from the Guardian, AFP, Chortle, and Arab News. The show was suspended on Sunday for making [redacted] references and using inappropriate language.

Coming in second was US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s visit to Cairo at the start of his Middle East tour, which is being widely picked up by wires including Reuters and The Associated Press, as well as covered independently by news outlets including The New York Times, Washington Post, Asharq Al-Awsat, and Palestine’s WAFA news agency.

Also making the rounds were updates on the Egyptian Armed Forces’ anti-terror campaign in North Sinai and Daesh’s warning of attacks ahead of the March presidential elections, with Al Arabiya and Bloomberg noting casualties.
