Egypt in the news on 16 May 2017

It is another delightfully slow news day for Egypt. Among the small handful of stories that rise to the level of barely worth skimming:

  • Egypt and Sudan’s border dispute is escalating, Maged Atef writes in Foreign Affairs (paywall) in a piece that appears to have been penned before the two sides tried to bury the hatchet in recent days — and before Omar Al Bashir stirred the pot a bit yesterday.
  • A collection of Victorian-era photographs by Scottish traveler JaneStewart include the Pyramids in Egypt in the 1860s, according to the Daily Mail. The recently discovered album is up for an auction today.
  • Six Egyptian mummies from the British Museum will be on display at the Hong Kong Science Museum, according to Xinhua.
  • RTE says an Egyptian doctor in Ireland is facing allegations of professional misconduct and poor professional performance in an inquiry that is becoming one of the longest inquiries held in modern times by Ireland’s Medical Council.
