Egypt in the News on 02 July 2019

It’s a blessedly slow morning for Egypt in the foreign press, which offers just a few headlines worth a quick skim:

  • Daeshbags deported: Costa Rica will deport two Egyptian Daesh suspects to Egypt after being arrested in Nicaragua last week, AFP reports.
  • A new Great Game? Competition for eastern Mediterranean natural gas is giving rise to a new web of alliances and conflicts akin to the 19th century ‘Great Game’ between the UK and Russia, Geoffrey Aronson writes for The Arab Weekly.
  • No way back for the Ikhwan: The Muslim Brotherhood is beset by factionalism and disagreement, preventing them from reasserting themselves as a social and political force, writes Mohamed Taha in The Conversation.
  • Mo Salah’s defense of Amr Warda has put him on “unfamiliar” grounds with disgruntled fans in Egypt, writes the National’s Hamza Hendawi.
