We’re scaling our talk shows coverage back this week and coming back into full swing once it’s officially 2018.

We couldn’t hold ourselves back from this one though, as Kol Youm’s Amr Adib was, for once, the voice of sanity, preaching last night against overblown conspiracy theories, which he urged Egyptians to ditch when looking into Sudan’s decision to temporarily grant Turkey a part of the Red Sea island of Suakin to develop an Ottoman city there into a touristic site.

Adib said Sudan is fully within its rights as a sovereign nation, stressing that while we can’t pass judgment on our southern neighbor’s decisions, we do need to carefully consider what our next move should be, likening the situation to a strategic chess game (watch, runtime 4:12).
