Egypt’s “leading role” in Africa’s development is the running theme in the country’s newspapers

Egypt taking on a leading role in the development of Africa is the running theme in the country’s three main state-owned newspapers. Al Ahram, Al Akhbar, and Al Gomhuria each run with different takes on President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s development-focused speech at the Africa 2018 Forum yesterday. Al Ahram also features other highlights from the conference on its front page, including the establishment of a risk insurance fund for Egyptian investors in Africa and the signing of several loan agreements.
