Football, feminism and fighting in the foreign press on 16 June 2021

It’s a mixed bag in the foreign press this morning: The Jerusalem Post is getting ahead of itself and is matching up the Egyptian and Ethiopian militaries, the UK Mirror covers the Egypt national team’s request that Mohamed Salah join them in the Tokyo Olympics, though Liverpool has yet to greenlight his travel to Japan. Meanwhile, an Al Monitor Podcast talks to the author of Midnight in Cairo, a new book that examines women’s contributions to Egypt’s early 20th century music, film and cabaret scenes.
