It was a quiet evening on the airwaves last night, what with Amr Adib and Lamees El Hadidi being on summer holiday. Otherwise, Egypt’s football team exiting the Olympics after their loss to Brazil yesterday got airtime, with Al Hayah Al Youm’s Lobna Assal praising the team’s performance despite their loss (watch, runtime 2:07) while Sada El Balad’s Ahmed Moussa criticized Egypt’s team captain Shawky Gharib, saying the team could have tried harder (watch, runtime 4:07).

The tumult in Tunisia is still a favorite topic among pundits, with Al Hayah Al Youm’s Lobna Assal saying Tunisia’s President Kais Saied has “opened fire” on Islamists, but that nobody had been arrested and his actions are all legitimate under the Tunisian constitution (watch, runtime 9:01). Meanwhile, Sada El Balad’s Ahmed Moussa called the Nahda party “a gang of criminals” and babbled on about his contention that he was among the early supporters of President Saied and a secular government in Tunisia (watch, runtime 6:39). Because, you know, they needed his approval to go down that path.

And GERD also gets a nod: Former irrigation minister Mohamed Nasr El Din Allam told Moussa that Ethiopia was exaggerating the amount of water it had stored in the dam’s second filling for political reasons — and that according to Egyptian estimates, Ethiopia had only managed to store 7.5 bn cubic meters, rather than the 13.5 bn it had claimed, (watch, runtime 6:31).
