It’s another relatively quiet morning for Egypt in the foreign press, with no single story driving the conversation:

  • Clerics are being dispatched to Sahel of all places to speak to young people on holiday as part of a government-mandated plan to “rejuvenate religious discourse,” Al Monitor reports.
  • There are more than 3 mn tuktuks operating in Egypt, driven mostly by either children or young men who were unable to find other sources of income. VOA tackles the issue in a photo essay.
  • Secret submarines: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu secretly allowed Germany to sell Egypt two submarines in order to get a USD 500 mn discount on a German sub, Haaretz reports.
