The passing of high-profile writer and feminist icon Nawal El Saadawi leads the conversation on Egypt this morning (as we note in What We’re Tracking Today, above). In the runner-up spot: coverage of our latest vaccine shipment from China. The Associated Press and Reuters are running with news of the 300k-dose shipment of vaccine from Sinopharm that we received over the weekend.

Also making headlines: Yet another piece looking at the colonial roots of tensions over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (The Conversation) and a look at desert megacities in Egypt and Saudi Arabia (Haaretz).
