Another mixed bag of nuts on Egypt’s airwaves.

Last night was yet another mixed bag of nuts on the airwaves.

Amcham’s Doorknock lobbying tour of Washington got some airtime. The annual pilgrimage wrapped up yesterday after a delegation of 35 top executives of companies operating in Egypt held 89 meetings with US officials, members of Congress and their staffers, international financial institutions and think-tank types. Hona Al Asema’s Reham Ibrahim noted the event comes ahead of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s trip to DC this week (watch, runtime: 2:13).

Gov’t wishes you a happy Ramadan: The same talking head then moved on to discuss Supply Ministry efforts to the price of consumer staples ahead of the holy month in an interview with Internal Trade Development Authority Chairman Ibrahim Ashmawy. It’s all about logistics, he said (watch, runtime: 11:57).

Meanwhile, avid Zamalek fan Amr Adib was on Ahly’s 5-0 loss to South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns in yesterday’s CAF Champions League quarter final(watch, runtime: 7:35).
