It’s a mixed bag in the foreign press this morning as far as Egypt is concerned: Among the stories getting picked up:

  • Egypt’s reliance on fossil fuels for its energy production could be a sticking point as the country tries to build its image as a climate-conscious state, and readies itself to host COP27 next year. (Quartz Africa)
  • Human rights: Human rights organizations are calling on the Saudi government to release 10 Egyptian Nubian men who have been detained without charge for 16 months for organizing a “community event.” (Amnesty International)
