#Egypt fr Africa Facts Zone: The first look at Egypt’s new high-speed train, “Hapi” which was named after the ancient Egyptian god of the Nile.
Egypt is set to have the world's sixth largest high-speed rail system, after China, Spain, France, Germany and Japan with a total length of over 2,250km.
#Egypt's Sisi orders prime minister to form new cabinet (neither this article, nor those announcing the cabinet’s resignation [presumably by order] explains the 5th W = why?) @egypt
Israel’s Seizure of #Gaza Border Zone Strains Ties With Egypt
Israel defied ominous Egyptian warnings & took control of the #PhiladelphiCorridor, but the reaction from #Egypt, which wants to maintain its #security cooperation with #Israel, has been muted.
#Egypt Mada Masr on X

Ancient Egyptian skulls show oldest attempt at cancer surgery.
NBC News reports: "The ancient Egyptians were known for their medical know-how. Texts describe how they would treat a range of illness and injuries, in some cases by building prosthetic limbs and inserting false teeth."
This could be a mere human error, but I suspect more as I've seen it too often.
The German supermarket chain #Rewe promotes their continual offers of regional goods, especially fruit and vegetables. Small signs tell customers that certain items are from the local area, and people seem to trust them.
An occasional check, though, and it is clear this is not the case. These potatoes are from #Egypt which, no matter how you fold the globe, is not regional to #Bremen. A second container had potatoes from Israel, also not local by any stretch of the imagination.
In fact, none of the items marked as Regional goods on offer in Rewe Bremen yesterday were regional at all.
Time, perhaps, to give someone a geography lesson, or ask whether this is being done on purpose.
"Egypt has basically accepted every term that Israel imposed on it..to a degree..of actual collusion."
"Egypt has denied access into Gaza to the international media, Egyptian media, human rights investigators.... Why do Israel’s bidding by denying them..at the Egyptian side?"
Egypt gives "Israelis complete control on the vetting of who comes out of Gaza", even stranded Egyptian citizens.
Why yes I am having a great time. I’ve had many memorable moments, made new friends and met some interesting people along the way. However the Pyramids of Giza was a particular highlight for me. One of my favourite photos I’ve taken on this trip is this one whilst riding a camel. I have no idea how it turned out like this. #Travel#Egypt#Giza
