Authorities have used dynamite to destroy buildings that were illegally built on state-owned land, but have damaged other buildings and agricultural areas in the process. These reckless actions have resulted in losses to innocent citizens (which, by extension, count as losses to the state) and have given rise to accusations that the interests of the government and private sector are not aligned, Gouda writes.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/on-deadline\/\">On Deadline<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"648237\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"648237\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Worth reading<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/05\/31\/optimism-outweighs-concerns-over-sczone-ft-special-report\/\">\r\n                            Optimism outweighs concerns over SCZone - FT special report                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/05\/31\/optimism-outweighs-concerns-over-sczone-ft-special-report\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

In its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/2f6a3d18-1ae0-11e7-a266-12672483791a\">piece exploring plans to turn the Suez Canal into an industrial hub<\/a>, the salmon-colored newspaper said that apart from Port Said, the region\u2019s biggest city, canal zone towns have small populations, with transportation to the strategic area also being rough. \u201cIt is no good building a factory then transporting people to work in it,\u201d said Arafa Holding chairman <strong>Alaa Arafa<\/strong>. The project must also make sure that managers of the SCZone are alert to the concerns of investors, said <strong>Wael Ziada<\/strong>, head of investment firm Zilla Capital, who believes that it is these types of conflicts that hold back major macroeconomic projects.<\/p>\n<p>On the whole, <strong>the piece sings an optimistic tune about the SCZone<\/strong>, paying particular notice to how the zone had been made an independent entity to avoid the pitfalls of Egypt\u2019s bureaucracy, which has stymied investments. The story mentions some of the key expansions including the USD 15 bn in projects to be built on 23 mn sqm, which has attracted the likes of Siemens, General Electric, as well as industrial developers ASEC-Capital alliance.<\/p>\n<p>The piece is part of a special report by the FT headlined <strong>New Trade Routes: The Arab World <\/strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/reports\/arab-trade\">landing page here<\/a>)<strong>.<\/strong> The most interesting pieces are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/2bf0c314-1ae0-11e7-a266-12672483791a\">US and China offer new Middle East trade potential<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/2c3875ce-1ae0-11e7-a266-12672483791a\">DP World hitches lift on the new Silk Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-reading\/\">worth reading<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"648238\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"648238\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/05\/31\/russian-egyptian-relations-experiencing-renaissance-three-problems-remain\/\">\r\n                            Russian-Egyptian relations experiencing renaissance, three problems remain                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/05\/31\/russian-egyptian-relations-experiencing-renaissance-three-problems-remain\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
