Egypt in the News on 6 May 2021

It’s a quiet morning for Egypt in the foreign press. Among the stories making the rounds are Egypt’s Christian community and activists criticizing the government for not declaring Easter a national holiday (Al Monitor) and pundits suggesting that aligning regional interests and US pressure are behind Egypt and Turkey’s move to reduce tensions, but “full normalization” could take time (France24).

Meanwhile, Canada’s CBC notes that “A curriculum developed by Baseball Canada is being used to help teach the game to Egypt's first youth baseball league.”
