How Mo Salah is helping promote the positive symbolism of Ramadan

We kick off Ramadan with a wonderfully slow news day for Egypt in the international press.

Egyptian Liverpool star Mo Salah promotes the positive symbolism of Ramadan and embodies the values of Islam “at a time when anti-Islam rhetoric is rampant in the West,” according to Quartz Africa.

Otherwise, the pickings are slim:

• Several Armenian airlines will include Egypt in their charter flight routes this summer after receiving the required licenses, News.am reports.
• US teachers are using Egypt-set Assassin’s Creed Origins video games in the classroom to give antiquities and history lessons, the New York Times reports.
