There’s no single story leading the conversation on Egypt in the foreign press this morning. Among the headlines to skim through:

  • EDEX- the aftermath: Egypt used the second iteration of its defense expo to continue diversifying its suppliers of weapons and military equipment, lessening its reliance on the US, the AP says.
  • Water insecurity: Canada’s Globe and Mail looks at the threat posed to Egypt’s water security by the GERD in this visually impressive piece.
  • A military government in Khartoum could be good news for Egypt, according to a piece The Africa Report.
  • Obits roll in for pathologist Sherif Zaki, who helped identify covid-19, Ebola and other infectious diseases. He passed away last week. (The New York Times)
