Topping coverage of Egypt in the foreign press on a very slow news day this morning was the US unfreezing aid to Egypt. Other headlines worth noting in brief:

  • Egypt should be clearing up conflicts arising in negotiations over the Grand Ethiopian Dam and establishing a long-term cooperation framework with Sudan and Ethiopia to guarantee its Nile water shares, Tareq Baconi writes for the European Council on Foreign Relations.
  • A military court issued a suspended two-month prison sentence to six defendants “for their involvement in a play seen as insulting to security forces,” the New York Times reports.
  • Founded by Huda Shaarawi in 1923, the Egyptian Feminist Movement is one of Africa’s strongest feminist groups today, Pulse says.
