President Abdel Fattah El Sisi wraps up his two-day visit to the UAE today. The two have discussed bilateral ties as well as regional issues including terrorism and the conflicts in Syria, Yemen, and Libya, according to an emailed statement from Ittihadiya (pdf).

We had the pleasure yesterday of meeting some really switched-on young people from Cairo American College’s Injaz team. You’ll be hearing more from us about them soon, but in the meantime, allow the crusty oldsters here at Enterprise to say this: If these kids are the future, the future is gonna be alright.
