It’s another slow day in the international press. Among the few stories that caught our attention:

  • Hundreds of artisans showcased their handicrafts during an exhibition in New Alamein city, which kicked off on 28 July. (Xinhua)
  • Foreign Policy is running a story on Egyptian bestselling author Alaa el Aswany’s novel The Republic of False Truths, newly translated into English, in which he narrates the chronicles of fictional characters living through the Arab Spring.
