The international press is blessing us with another quiet morning, with no single story on Egypt getting widespread attention.

Headlines worth a brief skim:

  • Bad times for NGOs: Egypt is a country in which “anti-NGO measures are pending or possible,” according to a recently-released report by Freedom House.
  • Good times for potato farmers: Potato farmers in Egypt are enjoying a bumper harvest this year after imported Chinese seeds brought a 50% higher yield, Xinhuareports.
  • Iftars for the poor: A volunteer group delivers “dignified iftars” to Egypt’s poor, Gulf News reports.
  • Still more Ikhwan: Bloomberg is the latest outlet to chime in on the topic that the international media can’t seem to get enough of these days.
