Abou Zeid noted that Egypt had specifically nominated the World Bank since it has prior experience with similar projects. Cairo will wait for the African Union summit in Addis Ababa later this month to further discuss the GERD issue with Ethiopia and Sudan, he added (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sDbQ0b7aHSo\">watch, runtime: 8:42<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s Tamer Amin sat down with Cairo University political science professor Tarek Fahmy for some insight into Pence\u2019s Middle East tour<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RKyKDOcN-CA\">watch, runtime: 17:18<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Former Arab League Secretary-General Nabil El Araby told Yahduth fi Masr\u2019s Sherif Amer<\/strong> that a multilateral agreement between the US, Russia, the EU, and China could be the key to resolving the Palestinian crisis. El Araby also said that Arab countries must work on drumming up international support for Palestine and its claim to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>Supply Ministry spokesperson Mamdouh Ramadan told Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lamees Al Hadidi that <strong>raising the price the state pays farmers of sugarcane to EGP 720 per tonne will encourage an increase in cultivation<\/strong> and eventually plug the production gap. Through some miracle of socialist economics, he insists that paying more for sugarcane won\u2019t affect the retail price of sugar. Ramadan says Egyptians consume around 3.2 mn tonnes per annum (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kxXJT4MK7CY\">watch, runtime: 2:14<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Farmers Syndicate head Hussein Abou Saddam told Lamees<strong> a better price from the state should give farmers a satisfactory profit margin without pushing up retail prices<\/strong>, which would be burdensome for citizens.
