We have a mixed bag of nuts from the foreign press this morning, which otherwise remains squarely focused on the Suez Canal debacle. Among the headlines to skim:

  • Egypt is seeking to strengthen economic ties with Horn of Africa and Nile Basin countries like Somalia and Djibouti in a bid to gain their support in the GERD dispute. (Al Monitor)
  • Egypt and Greece’s cooperation policies in the East Med are likely to determine the region’s energy geopolitics, especially the 2020 partial maritime delimitation agreement that nullifies a Turkish-Libyan MOU claiming exploration rights in the area (Modern Policy)
  • Nawal El Saadawi gets another obit, this time being memorialized as the “godmother” of Egyptian feminism. (Maine Public Radio)
