Egypt’s relations with the rest of Africa are again the overarching theme in the three main state-owned dailies this morning (Al Ahram | Al Akhbar | Al Gomhuria). Also on the front pages today:

  • The House of Representatives gave preliminary approval to a bill that would regulate retail shops (Al Ahram — we have more in Speed Round, above);
  • Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly discussed with Supply Minister Ali El Moselhy and Agriculture Minister Amr Abu Steit setting up logistics centers to help bring down the prices of foodstuffs (Al Ahram);
  • Some 15.5 mn Egyptians have been screened for Hepatitis C under the state’s nationwide survey (Al Akhbar).
