Egypt’s chairmanship of the AU tops headlines in state-owned dailies

Egypt’s assumption of the African Union chairmanship is emblazoned across the front pages of the country’s three main state-owned dailies (Al Ahram | Al Akhbar | Al Gomhuria). Al Gomhuria also takes note of IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde’s words of praise for Egypt’s economic reform program during a meeting with Finance Minister Mohamed Maait.
