It’s a mixed bag of nuts for Egypt in the foreign press this morning: The AfricaReport notes how the dispute over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) has strained relations between Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan, while the Associated Press reports on social campaigns seeking to provide food for the poor during another Ramadan under the coronavirus, which has seen iftar tables banned from the streets. Global Finance picks up the news of Egypt’s recently-inaugurated industrial zone, Gypto PharmaCity and The Times of Israel reports that an Israeli transgender couple were denied entry to Egypt at the Taba crossing. Elsewhere, Reem Alaa Hamed — the brains behind the Ramla shoe brand — talks to Forbes about her background in design, her influences and the Egyptian art scene.
