Other stories worth noting

Another day, another Egypt-bashing piece in the foreign press: Sunday’s edition comes courtesy of the Wall Street Journal, which is saying that this year’s presidential election perturbed some in President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s base, who are now hoping it could open the door to more political freedoms. Al Monitor, meanwhile, is raising a stink about the extension of the state of emergency.

Also making headlines:

  • Egypt’s “pragmatism” towards its oil and gas resources is an example to follow, according to Forbes.
  • Agreements on Nile water-sharing that date back to colonial times will not stop Ethiopia from building its mega dam, says Africa
  • More Egyptians want to go to grad school even as jobs in academia are getting scarce, writes Amr El Tohamy for Al Fanar Media.
