Another slow day for Egypt in the foreign press

It is another quiet morning for Egypt in the international press, with only a few headlines worth a brief moment of your time this morning:

  • The Benban Solar Developers Association (BSDA) has helped clear logistical and regulatory hurdles for the 1.8 GW Benban solar complex, BSDA member Assem Korayem told PVA magazine in an interview.
  • Egyptian police killed 15 suspected militants in a shootout in northern Sinai where the state has been fighting an affiliate of Daesh, the AP reports, citing the Interior Ministry, which did not say when the shootout took place.
  • Egyptians ordered by the government to vacate their homes for reconstruction projects should have the right to remain, if they so choose, said UN Special Rapporteur on adequate housing Leilani Farha, according to Reuters.
  • Human Rights Watch issued a statement claiming that Egypt ‘forcibly disappeared’ rights lawyer Ezzat Ghonim after a court ordered his release last month.
