Train accident tops coverage in state newspapers

Yesterday’s train accident was the common topic linking the front pages of all three state-owned newspapers. Al Ahram and Al Gomhuria led their front pages with the warning from Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly that all those guilty of negligence would be held to account. Al Akhbar appears to be less preoccupied with the accident, with its top headline being President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s meeting with Albanian President Ilir Meta.
