The confusion about whether Ethiopia has started filling the reservoir of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is dominating the conversation in the foreign press this morning. We have more in this morning’s Speed Round, above.

Also getting attention in the foreign press:

  • Mohamed Ali extradition: The Financial Times picks up the news reported by the NewYork Times earlier this week that the Egyptian government is attempting to extradite military contractor-cum-revolutionary Mohamed Ali from Spain.
  • The Guardian is the latest outlet to look at doctors’ complaints about working conditions during the covid-19 pandemic.
  • The plight of homeless children in Cairo has intensified since the pandemic took hold, reducing footfall on the city’s streets and stripping them of much needed change on which they used to rely, AFP reports.
