It’s a mixed day for Egypt in international news. The lead story for the foreign press corps is the country’s passage of laws clamping down on people trafficking on the migrant route to Europe, but that largely good-news story is competing with the family Aya Hijazi, who readers will remember has been in pre-trial detention for more than 900 days. As we’ve noted for more than a year now, the young woman and her husband appear to have been arrested for trying to help street children. The case has been raised by members of Congress and by US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The Washington Post has kept the issue in the spotlight with a series of op-eds.

This morning, Hijazi’s sister has a piece in the Washington Post and The Guardian has also picked up the story.

Dips and pundits on Tweeter: Britain’s ambassador to Egypt is chuffed, tweeting photos of joint naval exercises between the Egyptian and UK Navies, while the Canadian embassy took to Twitter to announce the opening of a new Canadian International University in the New Administrative capital. Pundit Eric Trager, meanwhile, is upset at rising anti-American conspiracy theories in the Egyptian press.

Elsewhere this morning: If it’s Tuesday, then Foreign Affairs must be cross with Egypt, if Steven Cooke’s “Egypt’s Nightmare: Sisi’s Dangerous War on Terror” is any gauge. Meanwhile: Egypt says domestic strawberries are safe for export; the New York Daily News continues with the story of the burned teenager who showed up on an EgyptAir flight to New York; the London tabloid The Sun is sickeningly happy to pick up the story of the self-immolating taxi driver in Alexandria; and The Atlantic’s Citylab looks at the New Administrative Capital.
