Last Night’s Talk Shows: Development projects in South Sudan + artefact assessment wraps up

It was a relatively quiet evening on the airwaves, with no big news story and no single topic driving the conversation.

Infrastructure diplomacy with South Sudan: Egypt is leading three planned infrastructure projects South Sudan, including the rehabilitation of an electricity station, clearing canals in Bahr El Ghazal, and a five-star hotel in the capital city of Juba, Al Hayah Al Youm’s Mohamed Sherdy noted (watch, runtime: 3:07). Masaa DMC’s Ramy Radwan had a chat with Egyptian Council for African Affairs Vice President Salah Heleima about these projects and prospects for further cooperation between the two countries (watch, runtime: 7:35).

The Prosecutor General’s office wrapped up its inspection of 5k artifacts and other historic and artistic items belonging to a Zamalek resident, and determined that nearly 1,400 of these pieces are artifacts and will be given to the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Sherdy reported (watch, runtime: 2:41). The committee found that the collection also includes hundreds of valuable art pieces, Yahduth fi Misr’s Sherif Amer also noted (watch, runtime: 2:14).
